The organizers of Torontos Pride parade say they welcome police participation in the event in so much as uniforms, weapons and cruisers are left at the police station.
A statement released by Pride Toronto Sunday night states LGBTQ+ police officers and their allies are not banned from the parade.
We welcome and encourage their participation to add to Pride this year as members of our community, the statement read. LGBTQ+ police officers and their allies can march in the parade with community groups, with the City of Toronto, or even create their own group.
We are simply requesting that their participation not include the following elements: uniform, weapons, and vehicles.

Make perfectly reasonable demands that clarify what we've all been saying if old.
