As an attendee of New York City’s Gay Pride Parade this past Sunday, I was very excited for all the dancing and rah-rah that comes with showing up and having a big celebration for the gay community. “We’re here, we’re queer” at its finest. However, because liberals have absolutely no fun, there was no shortage of the politicization of Pride. That the #Resistance came out in full force against Trump with all the silliness of the day compounded with their trademark single-digit IQs was no surprise; however, when one banner showed up bearing the words “There Are No Queer Friendly Cops,” it became too much.
The irony of the scene was incredible. In front of and behind the (tiny) group of marchers holding their hateful banner were lines of police, literally protecting these presumably queer protesters. To the everlasting credit of the parade organizers, placed immediately behind that group was the NYPD contingent of marchers. Not only did these cops, many of whom are LGBT individuals themselves, outnumber that anti-police contingent by about 20:1, but they were all absolutely delighted to be there. Those cops seemed very “queer friendly.”
