Meanwhile, plenty of attendees will maintain their tradition of marching naked. \u201cThey can march in marching t-shirts that say SF police, or SF County Sheriff\u2019s Department, that\u2019s fine, but no full uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco Police Department responded by refusing to participate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though our members may not be marching in this year\u2019s Pride Parade, the San Francisco Police Department will be on hand to ensure that everyone attending and participating in SF Pride Weekend activities enjoys a safe and celebratory Pride Weekend in San Francisco,\u201d the department announced in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanfranciscopolice.org\/news\/sfpd-makes-announcement-regarding-2022-pride-parade-22-068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>San Francisco Police Officers Pride Alliance condemned the organizers\u2019 decision in stronger terms through a three-page press release. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us be clear: this committee would not order the leather community to wear polyester at the parade. This committee would not order the drag community to wear flannel,\u201d the officers\u2019 pride coalition said. \u201cBut they have told us, peace officers, that if we wear our uniforms, we may not attend. For LGBTQ+ officers, this brings us back to a time when we had to hide at work<br \/>that we were LGBTQ+.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco Fire Department announced the city\u2019s firefighters would join the police in solidarity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to allow the public to see that our uniformed law enforcement officers are good, they do reflect our community,\u201d Fire Department spokesman Jonathan Baxter told ABC7.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor London Breed said she will also sit out of the parade unless organizers offer to capitulate on servicemembers\u2019 uniforms. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the Pride Parade, and what it means for our LGBTQ community and for our city. It\u2019s one of my favorite events of the year,\u201d Breed told ABC7. \u201cHowever, if the Pride Board does not reverse its decision, I will join our city public safety departments that are not participating in the Pride Parade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Organizers of Seattle pride events have similarly asked police not to attend the community festivities. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeaders of PrideFest have asked police to stay off of the festival grounds for this year\u2019s June 26 event,\u201d Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/seattle\/2022\/05\/24\/police-banned-again-pride-event-seattle-capitol-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> last week of the festivities that take place at the end of the city\u2019s grand parade. \u201cPrideFest is making the same request for a smaller event it will host June 25 on Capitol Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PrideFest organizers also barred police from a rally held in its historically gay neighborhood, saying the animosity is warranted because of law enforcement\u2019s use of force during the 2020 riots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to request police stay respectfully at the perimeters,\u201d Seattle\u2019s Capitol Hill group told Axios. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
