Yes I can understand your way of thinking.
I can also see how some homosexuals may find this an irrelevance especially if they dont wanna be police officers.
Over reaction is a value judgement, one used against gays not the police.
It is the police who are causing trouble by not allowing both sexes to wear earrings and if homosexuals wanna fight for a right denied them (even if its just cuz they are men) then I say let them fight.
