Narelda Jacobs Instagram – The accusation the LGBTQIA community was not being inclusive by excluding police, placed the onus of inclusion in the wrong place.
Some spaces intentionally exclude those who have perpetrated abuses in order to keep those who have suffered safe. Surely real inclusivity is acknowledging lived experience to protect our most vulnerable.
The queer community doesnāt have to prove police are worthy of inclusion. Police have to prove it themselves.
Organisations have to show they are inclusive, safe spaces before they can march under the rainbow.
Whether marching in uniform or not, the onus is on NSW Police to demonstrate their remorse, deep reflection and systemic change so we can all feel included in their protection and community service. | Posted on 28/Feb/2024 12:23:28
