I think this needs more context.
In you country as in "I'm not living in the USA (= homophobic country with homophobic laws and/or cops)" or "I live in a country in the USA ( = police brutality/gaybashing by USA cops)" GOD North America is so confusing to me help

If you're not living in North America (USA specifically), do you see gay copaganda in American shows or your own country's show?

Because I live in a homophobic country and I'm utterly indifferent when I see queer USA/AUS/UK/etc police person. I just don't care. It's like, worlds apart. America and gay police is fiction. It has no bearing to me IRL.

I'm interest in other POV.

This secret is the epitome of first world problems. That moment when someone is mad that police shows up at pride and thus supports gay rights... just no words.

[(Anonymous)]

Because they don't actually support LGBT+ rights. It is just corporate pinkwashing.

[(Anonymous)]

the police are not corporations. idgaf how much you hate the police but equating them to corporate pinkwashing is...sideways.

I feel for the gay cops who seem like the last line of "no really we're here to help!" in an increasingly shitty world. there has to be some kind of middle ground between "let gay cops be gay while also cops" or "tar them for being cops despite being gay." all this black and white shit is tiresome.

[(Anonymous)]

Binary thinking is tiresome. Unfirtunately, it seems that pointing it out directly makes people do it more. The backfire effect sucks.

[(Anonymous)]

The policy are not corporations, but they are at the service of corporations. They regularly justify killing protestors to protect corporate property.

I feel for the gay cops trapped between worlds, sure, but I have to wonder about their actual stance on this specific issue, considering, you know, Pride started as a /direct/ response to police brutality against queer people. That's the part about "no cops at Pride" I feel strongly about--there's a very fucking clear history.

[(Anonymous)]

They are not trapped between two worlds. Nobody choose whether or not to be lgbt, but being a cop is a conscious choice.

Assigned Cop At Birth. Tragic.

[(Anonymous)]

And all this time we thought ACAB stood for something else!

[(Anonymous)]

Tbf I can't stop reading ACAB as assigned cop at birth

[(Anonymous)]

DA

The Transformer Prowl, maybe?

... my sense of humor is mighty odd...

[(Anonymous)]

This is fucking hilarious, thank you for this!

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT absolutely, my wording was poor there. I was, unfortunately, trying to appeal to the anon before me, who was concerned for the gay cops.

[(Anonymous)]

TIL I learned fear of police brutality is a first world problem.

Seriously, you're an asshole.

I mean, it’s perfectly legal to be gay where I live. Gay people can get married and have kids. Gay people can be cops. This has been the case for a long time.

But cops also raid gay spaces. They sexually assault trans sex workers. When there was a serial killer a few years ago preying on racialized gay men in the gay village, many gay people went to the cops with their suspicions and were laughed away. They publicly said that there was no serial killer even though any reasonable civilian would have noticed that a whole bunch of gay men who all looked kind of similar were going missing. It took one of the victims escaping and surviving to catch the guy, who turned out to be someone that the cops had known about.

So when I see a fictional gay cop who goes to bat for queer rights on TV, I do think it’s gross and weird, since they do exist IRL but none of them stand up for the actual community. Except of course for when it’s Pride and they think they can slather on a thick layer of pink washing and have us all forget the last time they brutally raided one of our safe spaces.

It’s not the hugest problem in the world for sure, but people can be angry about more than one thing, and this is a community for people’s silly complaints and opinions about fandom things.
