Police are accused of targeting the queer community through a series of raids of bars on Australia's most famous LGBTQI district during Pride Month.
Large groups of officers, accompanied by sniffer dogs, descended on Oxford Street and its venues in central Sydney on Saturday.
They allegedly shoved, berated and forced patrons to remove their clothes in public view as part of drug searches, according to a joint letter from Sydney MP Alex Greenwich and Sydney Mayor Clover Moore.
