The Gayest Car Since the Miata

June 24, 2017 by V the K

The Official New York Police Department Pride Mobile 2017.

The 69 in the license plate number, was that just a little over-the-top? No? Well, all right then.

They also did this in 2016.

This isn’t just virtue-signaling, it’s a message that the State is fully invested with gay activists, even putting taxpayer money into celebrating their lifestyle. That LGBT’s are a politically favored group. Which is funny because I’ve always been told the reason Christmas trees are banned from public buildings is because the State is not supposed to signal preference for one group over another. Yet, they ban the Confederate flag to demonstrate that white southerners are a politically-disfavored group.

    I think it’s pretty cool for local authorities to show their support for the LGBT community during Pride month? Who is getting harmed?

    I own a Miata. I thought it was a butch car. I certainly know my Subaru Outback is butch, especially when I have golf clubs in the back.

    Okay, whatever…I don’t think it’s necessary, but whatever…my only question is: Who paid for it? Getting a car detailed like that is not cheap? Did it get paid for by taxes? If so, then it’s very wrong…even if they are just showing a little support, CrayCray, my love.

    Hey, you got a snowflake crisis, call a “gay” cop who will arrive in his carnival float and through beads and glitter all over who ever is bothering you. OK?

    Would that “up the pride” enough, or is there more social justice needed?

    I think it’s pretty cool for local authorities to show their support for the LGBT community during Pride month? Who is getting harmed?

    PRIDE MONTH ???? What is the rest of the year, ambiguous confusion season???

    Who is getting harmed??? No one. Please wax poetic over the elevating gifts bestowed upon society for having Pride month.

    Maybe, I am confusing all of this with Continental Drift Awareness Month.

    Back when I bought my last convertible, I looked-at a number of likely-candidates including the Miata. [hangs head in shame] Anyway…one of the possibles that I liked the handling-of had a turbo, 6-speeds, all the cool go-fast gear. Then a hot DILF of a certain-age pulled up along-side my Jeep at a light in one…and all I could think-of was, “..why is he driving his daughter’s car?“ Needless to say THAT car was immediately crossed-off the list. I bought my 3rd Saab Turbo Convert. instead and kept the Jeep.*

    At-least the NYPD Pride-mobile is butcher than the guy standing in front of it.

    @ tnnsne1: Bingo. The clashes we have seen over the past couple years between BLM and GLBT groups are nothing more than squabbles between baby birds to see which one gets the worm from mommy. That, and I’m willing to bet there are a few DL guys in BLM who resent the (mostly white) GLBT crowd.

    Cray, it isn’t who is being harmed. It’s who is being shown favor and disfavor by the police.

    They don’t decorate cars for Christmas.
    They don’t recognize Black History Month.
    They don’t recognize Rosh Hashanah.

    Yet, they recognize Gay Pride Month.

    That is telling.

    If there is just that one patrol car and its beat is Chelsea or Christopher Street, and was decorated for free by some volunteer org, and/or was used during the parade as a sort of float… fuck it.

    But the door remains open to every other group that wants special mention. So, they should use only that one patrol car and get it re-decorated by the various “community” groups for free by their volunteers and run the cars only in that section of town and/or in that particular parade.

    Jesus, I can’t believe these people actually can and will turn us all into authoritarian communists who must microscopically ensure complete equality among the specialty groups lest the children become upset and throw tantrums on a daily basis all over the country.

    It boggles my mind how casual you are about lying. Obviously this is a lie. Obviously the confederate flag is a racist symbol and has as much place in America as the Nazi flag has in Tel Aviv.

    Yet you casually lie with a simple throw away line that lets you pretend you are a victim.

    Geez..

    GOAL aims to change homophobic attitudes in the police department and in the community at large.

    The organization posthumously honored police officer Michael Hance, who was nicknamed “The Twerk Cop” for his dance routine at the 2015 Gay Pride Parade, at the department’s Pride Celebration Wednesday.

    The 44-year-old straight cop was widely praised after a cell-phone video showed him dancing, on duty and in uniform, with Aaron Santis at the New York City Pride March.

    Hance died of 9/11-related cancer in March.

    NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said at the event, “That simple act uplifted the city’s spirits and delivered a message of inclusion and compassion.”

    The New York Police Department is showing support for the LGBT community by going gay. Well, at least one of their patrol vehicles is. The NYPD is supporting gay pride for the second year in a row with a rainbow adorned cruiser.

    The Gay Officers Action League of the NYPD released video footage of the tricked-out cruiser, which swaps the NYPD’s normal color palette and decals for an LGBTQ-focused design. This is the second year the SUV will be on the streets for New York Pride.

    The vehicle is created using temporary decals. The car also swaps out the NYPD’s usual vehicle slogan — courtesy, professionalism, respect — for a Pride-centric one: pride, equality, peace.

    So rusty says adult gay people can’t feel good about themselves unless straight people they don’t know like them for an attribute they can’t change. Isn’t that what middle school is for? The gay left needs to grow up. They almost make me ashamed of being gay.

    Thanks for your comment Craig. I always appreciate our civil exchanges.

    I would argue that the difference has become the communal celebration and the distinction that has naturally developed between PRIDE month and any other once (and sometimes still) oppressed members of the community. PRIDE celebrations happen all over the country and are encapsulated into a whole weekend that includes a parade in a multitude of cities. That has become a phenomenon unto itself.

    By the police (and fire, when applicable–at least in Sydney they show their support) department getting involved this way, it’s a symbolic gesture that represents inclusivity.

    I think there was a GP post a few months back about a police reach-out program where officers were visiting with minority students and creating bridges. I forget the reactions from posters in general. But, I know that mine was one of support and thought it was a great idea. Police departments often have PR problems, and these are at least steps in the direction of addressing them.

  18. CrayCrayPatriot says

    June 25, 2017 at 6:26 pm - June 25, 2017

    In addition to that program that reaches out to minority children …

    Police Community Outreach Efforts Yield Positive Results.

    In the wake of unrest, more and more police municipalities are turning towards community outreach as a way to remind people that police are here to protect and serve …

    Police-community relationships are one of the most significant barriers facing police officers …

    So, what are the goals of community outreach?

    • Increase citizen motivation to report crimes.

    • Build trust and familiarity with the community.

    • Create opportunities in which to engage community members.

    • Increase officer safety …

    A few examples of successful police community outreach:

    Coffee with a Cop …

    Back to School Picnic …

    National Night Out …

    It’s who is being shown favor and disfavor by the police.

    I would argue that favour is shown in different manners to the different groups they want to reach out to. It’s a matter of meeting them on their level. PRIDE is huge in June. There are a multitude of parade/PRIDE weekends. This is a prime opportunity for police and fire departments (and other groups) to be involved with the gay community if they want to show their support.

  19. CrayCrayPatriot says

    June 25, 2017 at 6:30 pm - June 25, 2017

    Here is another example which addresses police bridging relations with the Muslim community. I figure there aren’t these steps taken with communities, like say the Jewish community, because–to my knowledge–the Jewish community doesn’t feel targeted as a group by the police department.

  20. CrayCrayPatriot says

    June 25, 2017 at 6:32 pm - June 25, 2017

    At the end of the day, the police department are engaging these measures because they are trying to build trust and engage different members of the community who feel ostracised as a group, and to increase the reporting of crime and officer safety.

    I support the reporting of crime and officer safety as (I hope) does everyone else here at GP.

    I am well aware of the rationalizations the left uses to justify this, but they’re all horsesh-t. This is politicians playing tribute to the power of a selected political constituency for political purposes.

    I am well aware of the rationalizations the left uses to justify this

    Both the Illinois Democratic and Republican parties have been heavily represented [in the Chicago Pride parade], most noticeably by former Governor Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat, and former Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, a Republican. Both had strong support from many gay and lesbian voters.

    It certainly wasn’t as exciting as seeing Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer at L.A.’s Gay Pride parade yesterday … Log Cabin Republicans of Los Angeles, a local chapter of the nationwide LGBT republican organization, set up a photo opportunity with a blowup of [Caitlyn] Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover at the weekend-long festival in West Hollywood Park. Participants were asked to fill in a “Call Me…” sign in tribute to the mag’s headline, “Call Me Caitlyn.”

    #22 Craycray Fake hate crimes are real. They are conducted to benefit the supposed victim either via $ or concessions and to blame/have punished those the fake hate crime instigator has targeted.

    It is just the real victim of the fake hate crime is actually the people/person accused of doing it. Personally I think the hoaxer should be punished as if they were the perpetrator of the fake hate crime and it was real.

    Unfortunately the powers that be let the hoaxers off when they are caught with “they were just trying to get a dialog going” and then set up diversity classes to teach whater the hoaxer was pushing and give the hoaxers group $. Thus the hoaxer is rewarded and the hoaxes keep going. I would like to see the hoaxers expelled/fired, jailed, stuck with a huge fine, and made to take diversity classes honoring the group they tried to slander via their lie.

    Can you imagine the Leftists horror if the Muslim who just set the mosque on fire and tried to blame Trump supporters lost her job, had to go to jail for 6 months to a year, had to pay 50,000 fine which would go to handing out constitutions on campus and then had to take a pro-free speech diversity training and learn about the accomplisjments of the Republican party.

    Fake hate crimes are not real.

    What I intended to imply/mean when I wrote this was: fake hate crimes are not real hate crimes. I wasn’t denying they exist. I was addressing that they’re not “real” or “true” crimes, but “fake.”

    If the city isn’t rooting the bill for the rainbow car I really don’t care as long as they allow other organizations similar ability for their events.

    I think there is something to be said for outreach but I’m not convinced a rainbow car is that bridge. A rainbow
    Police car doesn’t require much action or personal interaction and that’s what builds bridges. A rainbow car is a costume.

You will have respect from the people who are capable of it and the others are never going to respect and cooperate with you anyway, they are just going to think you are weak and they got the power now (like the “religion of peace”).

    I hadn’t heard about this, so I just googled to find out. What Nebraskan Phil Montag said is deplorable, and I condemn it.
