I'm afraid time moves on and we have to roll with it.
My Dad was a cop in the 40's 50's and 60's - and in that time homosexuality was illegal. P art of his duty was staking out the toilets in the park , where the towns gays used to do their cottaging.

I loved my Dad and cherish his memory but theres no doubt about it - by todays standards, he was homophobic. Because of the thoroughness with which my Dad and his colleagues did their job, there is a residue of hatred and distrust between gays and the cops. Putting a few gay characters in TV police series is not going to solve this.

Overtures have to made to overcome generations of distrust and hatred. As to the cop in question, I say more power to his tutu.
