Transgender on the Force

"These days, the New York Police Department embraces “Out and Proud” as a motto. Officials boast of the hundreds of gay officers who help make up the department’s ranks. And inside Police Headquarters, on the monitors that serve as electronic bulletin boards with fliers for retirement parties and charity golf tournaments, among the rotating messages is one reminding officers of their rights to use the bathroom or locker room aligning with their gender identity." 
I found this article compelling, especially after learning about living as a gay, lesbian, or transgender person in the military. I enjoyed learning about Budd's experience and the NYPD's policies towards LGTBQ people in contrast to the government's policies following the war about which we read and watched.
