NSW Police face fresh calls to be banned from Mardi Gras
www.abc.net.au
NSW Premier Chris Minns has slammed a potential ban on NSW Police marching at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras despite LGBTQ+ community consultation showing a majority do not want officers to take part.

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.

    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.

      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.
