Trans March calls out cops

Police participation in Pride events hit home at the San Francisco Trans March Friday, June 23. March organizers had initially posted a guideline urging attendees not to talk to police along the route or thank them, stating "law enforcement is generally hostile towards trans people..." But after questions from the local NBC affiliate, that statement was removed from the site. Marchers also protested outside a San Francisco McDonald's in solidarity with La'Ray Reed, a Michigan trans woman and former employee at one of the fast food chain's Michigan franchises who claims she endured "extreme sexual harassment" when she worked there.
