Between this and the incident in Ft Worth, I wanted to contact my US Senator wondering about the prospects of a federal inquiry, so I tried calling the Atlanta Police Department in order to get the facts straight before I did so. I patiently meandered through the phone menus until I got through to the public affairs department. The moment I asked for the LGBT liaison officer, they responded, “she doesn’t work in this department” and then hung up on me. That’s when I redialed to leave a scathing voicemail in the Chief of Police’s office. I gotta say though, our government officials need to hear from us when these things happen. We need to encourage them to root out bigotry of all kinds in government, and we need to show the APD and police departments everywhere that they can’t get away with this kind of blatant abuse of power.

One question everyone should be asking is, “Would this ‘Raid’ happen to the local gentlemen’s strip club, Hooter’s, or even the local sporting events where women basically dance around in their underwear?” Perhaps we should take it on ourselves to raid these straight establishments and demand “proof of permit” from the lady dancers who often dance in their underwear as a form of protest and demonstrate just how completely bias the APD was with their actions.

I hope a massive investigation as to why this rather larger “RAID” was ordered for such a simple ordinance violation. I’m sure it was based on bias and hate, and should be investigated as a hate crime it’s self. This is also a gross misuse of taxpayer resources in a time when checks and balances should always be kept in order. I honestly can’t believe such a thing happened on so many levels.
