Gay officer to speak out for job rights bill - 9/9/2007 Posted by: Rico Fernandez | US measure would forbid discrimination
By Maria Cramer, Globe Staff | September 5, 2007
Springfield Patrolman Michael Carney decided to hide his homosexuality immediately after he graduated from the police academy.
At a graduation party, he saw a fellow officer come out of the men's room with a bloody nose. A police supervisor had beaten him up when he learned the officer had brought a male friend to the party, Carney recalled.
For years, Carney never spoke about his attraction to men. To deflect suspicion, he would make homophobic remarks in front of fellow officers.
But today, 25 years after he became a police officer, he will speak in the most public way about his sexual identity. He will ask Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a bill US Representative Barney Frank, a Democrat, introduced in April that would make it illegal to fire gays and lesbians because of their sexual orientation.
"My objective is to support those who are closeted as well as out," said Carney, who will testify in full uniform. "I feel when I speak I speak for those who can't speak for themselves."
Springfield Police Commissioner Edward Flynn said the department supports Carney. See Full Story
| | GSPOA/Guns & Hoses/LALEGAL in discussions to combine forces. - 9/5/2007 Posted by: J S | | It is now official! Guns & Hoses, LA LEGAL, and the Golden State Peace Officers Association (GSPOA) have now merged into one, unified organization. The Gay Peace Officers Association (GPOA) Southern California has been formed to give us a stronger voice in our affairs and cut out the redundancy and wasted energy of three separate organizations. Together, it is our desire to build a new, more effective organization that will serve as a vibrant social network as well as be a stronger voice for the many LGBT issues that arise within our departments. We will continue offering the fun social events that you have come to expect for Gun & Hoses and GSPOA. But in addition to these, we are looking to become a more visible advocate for equal rights, recruitment, training and promotions within the many departments we serve. We hope to be a powerful resource for law enforcement and fire fighting agencies throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
