How much does this sh@te cost the taxpayers

 

You can learn how not to be a LGBT ally by looking at what happened at Glasgow Pride

 

It does not matter which side of the trad/modern divide you fall police wrestling LGBT people to the ground at a Pride march and putting them in a choke hold is not a good look

 

 

Police restrain protesters at Glasgow Pride Mat Wilkie

If you want to know how not to be a good ally to a minority community, look no further than Glasgow last Saturday, where a toxic combo of ego and intransigence by police and the Pride organisers may just have set police-LGBT relations back by years.

 

At root is the question of what Pride really is. For its origins, along with Stonewall and the slow march toward LGBT rights, lie in protest. A gay/queer/trans community that had had enough of abuse at the hands of (New York) police turned furiously on their oppressors and fought back. So Pride, traditionalists and purists alike insist, is protest: very particularly, protest against the police.
