Pride in Protest has consistently campaigned for the exclusion of NSW Police from the parade citing a culture of homophobia within the force and an adversarial attitude towards unsolved gay hate deaths.

I don’t get it, is there some proof that gay officers are particularly good at ignoring crimes against gay victims of crime?
There’s proof that officers are particularly good at ignoring crimes against gay victims of crime.
Go ask any gay person. Our experiences with police are rarely good, and never helpful. I still remember them breaking a guys leg in an unlawful raid on a gay art studio a few years ago.
Further to that, pride here in Sydney have repeatedly said lgbtqi+ officers are welcome at pride in their capacity as a person. Police as an entity are not.
But that’s not what I asked.
Is there some proof that gay officers are better at preventing crimes against gay people?
If not, they’re just as unwelcome as the rest of the cops.
