So what would satisfy you? Do you really think an official proclamation written by a police communications flack and read out at a news conference by the chief of police is a more meaningful gesture than police - include gay police officers - actually participating in the parade officially and in uniform?
And I don't get this 'future harm' angle. Police in the future could potentially beat up anyone. Again, walk me through a plausible scenario where police go around randomly beating up gays and it's sanctioned by the authorities?
