Positive Police response
2001
Bridget and Barbara contacted the
police when they were getting the obscene calls regarding their
objections to the sexism at the golf club. “It would not be PC if the
Police didn’t respond appropriately, there is still some homophobia but
a lot of police are now sympathetic and they’ve got an LGB section; I
would be confident that they’d make a full investigation. There’s been
a sea change. The whole police culture has changed in terms not just of
gay rights, but ethnic minorities etc. When you see them at the Pride
Festival they are actually enjoying themselves”.
