True, although you
could have just said it more clearly in the first place...

My point was I think that what you were suggesting was quite, what's the word...preposterous and I'd consider it to be almost overkill paranoia. I didn't actually think you were serious initially but now I think you were. The idea that there's an underground conspiracy to make life hard for gays is not a theory I could take seriously. Yes of course many will have experienced prejudice in their time but....nah, I can't even begin on this one.

Russ, do you believe that there is racism present in *some* elements of the Police Force (including senior elements), even if not the endemic "institutional racism" reported in the report on the Stephen Lawerence murder?
If so, then you accept there is prejudice against a minority that *some* in the Police "don't like", yes?
So is it *REALLY* such a huge leap of the imagination to think that, just perhaps, there are senior members of the Police Force who are homophobic and who will allow this (albeit only in secret) to colour their thinking and affect their decision making??
