    NYPD Commissioner Tisch calls officers firearm ban from Pride Parade ‘slap in the face’

    NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch criticized a ban on officers carrying firearms during the Pride Parade as a 'slap in the face,' arguing it undermines their uniform and service. The Gay Officers Action League (GOAL) has been barred from marching with weapons since 2021, a decision linked to Heritage of Pride's past concerns over NYPD conduct during the George Floyd protests. Heritage of Pride stated the ban resulted from a member vote prioritizing safety, while officers insist they should be allowed to represent both their profession and LGBTQ+ identity.
