In response to the ban, the San Francisco Police Officer's Pride Alliance, which includes police, the fire department and the sheriff's office, said on Monday that LGBTQ employees have decided not to march in the parade 'in order to take a stand against the discriminatory actions of the board of the SF Pride committee.' Officers are still allowed to participate and show representation for the department through T-shirts, said Ford. The event's board of directors decided May 11 that off-duty police officers who march in the June 26 parade are not allowed to wear their uniforms, said San Francisco Pride Interim Executive Director Suzanne Ford.
(CNN) - San Francisco Mayor London Breed will not march in the city's Pride parade next month if participating police officers are not allowed to wear uniforms, the mayor said in a statement Monday. A San Francisco Police officer marches in the city's Pride parade in 2016.
