Jason Rantz: LGBTQ Police Officers Feel Like They’re Being ‘Pushed Into The Closet’ After Being Banned From Pride Parades

Listen To The Full Interview Below:

Jason Rantz, Host of the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH 770AM/94.5 FM in Seattle/Tacoma joined the Guy Benson Show to discuss the push by pride parade organizers to ban uniformed police officers from their events.

Rantz gave his take by saying,

“I’ve heard from some officers who use the language around feeling like they’re being pushed into the closet just in this case. It has nothing to do with their sexuality, has everything to do with their profession. And I think that that’s absurd, because when there is a anti-gay hate crime, guess what? You’re calling the cops to come and help you and then to somehow claim that people in the audience might feel triggered by their presence, by their mere uniform, is so absolutely absurd. And yet again, God forbid there was ever to be an attack of some kind or any kind of incident at one of these gay pride events. The cops are showing up regardless, by the way, as to whether or not you’re going to demean them because they happen to wear a uniform, they’re going to show up and they’re going to do their job because that’s what they signed up to do.”
