Police were asked not to march in uniform by the committee of the Brisbane Pride Incorporated in August last year, a joint statement between the organisation and the QPS published earlier this week said. "At the time, the decision was not made lightly, and it followed a process of having conversations and spending time listening to the real and current concerns of many members of our communities," the statement said.

"The decision to communicate that decision to the QPS, was done as a way to begin a conversation that would ultimately bring all community together to discuss meaningful and sustainable change, and to find ways to actively work together towards that change.The organisations said they had continued their conversations during the past 12 months.

Really, who cares, wear what you wish!

As an LGBT person, I don't understand what's so wrong with letting police match in uniform...?

Doesn’t this action go against wanting equality. Excluding an individual based on occupation. Disgusting. True Equality is not selective.

Cucks

sameful. there are gay police officers - why shouldn't they participate? not all lgbt people are supporters of current political fads

This isn’t the win they think it is.

And yet the same festival will rely on uniformed police officers for support around crowd control etc - it likely pays the state for police services as does Mardi Gras ! Hypocritical , divisive and non inclusive

A poor reflection on Pride - one strength of the gay community is it’s apparent inclusiveness . This is not a good sign and just works to the benefit of homophobes in the police force that never wanted police to March . Who will it be next ?

🤣🤣

So many bootlickers.

So it’s ok for me to ban gay people from anything until all the gay men who have hit on me with unwanted advances apologise? Then women ban men for that exact same reason? Where does this BS end? I’m rapidly losing respect for a number of groups over their perpetual victimhood

Not long ago, and arguably still, Australia had its own morality police. They lack principle

Good I don't want any paid police officers to march they should be out catching crooks.

Fighting discrimination with…… discrimination. 😂

Speaking from 2030, the apology was good for both sides of the baton.

If a police officer wishes to march they should so, but not in uniform. Police are meant to be objective. They should not, just like the ADF, be used as a political tool. There is no need for an apology to be allowed to march. This is the alphabet community being discriminatory

Why apologize at all? For enforcing the law?

Hilarious. You can suck up the the rainbow people but they will never accept normal people.

Always going to happen when you get groups of people together someone disagrees with someone, someone thinks their group needs, deserves, wants more than the other.

Oh please. Why should current police force members be punished for what happened in the past?

ACAB

Cops have historically and contemporarily oppresses LGBT people. They aren't welcome at pride.

They should be banned from kneeling for the Marxist BLM scam too. They kneeled for BLM protestors during lockdown in VIC, but fired rubber bullets at protestors opposing forced medical experiments. There is no equality under the law in Australia.

Good grief. Stop holding us hostage for your self indulgent behaviours

Hope the cops tell them to bugger off.

Who the fark does these puffters think they are? Farking buns of disgusting animals

Good on the organisers. Blacks in the States don’t invite the Klan to their matches either.

For many years the police have 'persecuted' the perverts. Now the perverts have there way. Remember that 'Pride' is the opposite of love. Love lowers self and uplifts another. Pride lowers others and uplifts self.

Inclusive unless they don't want to be inclusive

Not very inclusive. Ban the Alphabet genders their old hat now rather boring. Long live Heterosexuals

'inclusive'

I really don’t understand the point of these Pride processions. I thought the idea is that everyone is treated the same, yet here is a group trying to demonstrate that they aren’t (even though they are!)?

Why do earthlings need to label themselves. Is it to force others to pick a side which is causing more adversity instead of harmony.

The whole event should be canceled to slow the spread of monkey pox

This is embarrassing.

The cowardly virtue signalling is nauseating.

Just the usual intolerance and exclusion from those preaching to everyone about tolerance and inclusion.

Symbolic apologies appease no one & encourage greater levels of activism & demands for ‘structural change’ & reparations. Don’t fall for it QPF.

You can ban police?

Excluded the Teachers Federation with not explanation.

good look not... thought the community was inclusive

So much for diversity and inclusion 😂

Who cares.

Bow before your rainbow overlords.

I guess maybe the cops shouldn't have spent decades passing off gay murders as suicides, and assaulting equal rights protestors. Who knew actions had consequences?

wot about submarine crew.......?

We’re currently in a media driven, woke, death spiral. FMD

The cops shouldn’t march anyway. The BLTG is now a political movement & cops should be apolitical.

The rainbow cult is being selective🤔

Australia is drowning in identity politics… we will pay a huge price for this misguided ideology.

lol
