Maybe they havent been all that nice to homosexuals, but I'm unaware of any evidence to that either.
It seems to me that the CPS, with all their acknowledged warts, are being determined as 'Guilty by Association' as all Law Enforcement everywhere.
We live in Calgary, I'm not aware of CPS clearing out any Homosexual ghettos or anything. I must be missing their abuses of the Gay community because there must be some, but again, it seems like they're being attributed the faults of other Law Enforcement Organizations.

Because I'm not apart of the community, and have no idea what they have been through, I guess I just have to take them at their word when they say:

We acknowledge the historical oppression and institutionalized racism faced by queer/trans people of colour and Indigenous persons, and the potentially negative association with weapons, uniforms, and other symbols of law enforcement.

It's their parade, if they don't feel comfortable with uniformed officers marching beside them given past interactions, well, I'll take them at their word and say that's up to them.
