NSW Premier Chris Minns has slammed a potential ban on NSW Police marching at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras despite LGBTQ+ community consultation showing a majority do not want officers to take part.

Pride in Protest has consistently campaigned for the exclusion of NSW Police from the parade citing a culture of homophobia within the force and an adversarial attitude towards unsolved gay hate deaths.

    Fuck Labor for stacking the vote and siding with the pigs. No corps, no cops at pride. Labor didn’t even participate in the consultations with cops about the proposal but voted as a block against the interests of queer people and in favour of the cops. Against entryism when it affects them but partake in entryism of queer orgs to protect their pro-corp pro-cop agenda. For those not keeping up: Labor is anti-queer, anti-worker, pro-genocide, pro-corp and climate accelerationist. They are little more than a second Liberal party.
