San Francisco Mayor London Breed will be boycotting the city’s upcoming Pride Parade, one of the nation’s largest and most iconic, because of organisers’ stance that off-duty police officers can’t march in full uniform during the 26 June event.
It’s the latest rift over what role, if any, police should have in Pride events, given the epidemic of police violence against LGBT+ people, and the gay liberation movement’s long-standing history of resisting police abuse.
