            the relevant states have made a legal push to criminalize being queer in public

              You’re like a professional goal post mover. What does that have to do with the police?

                What do laws have to do with police?

                  But it’s not legal. And as we’ve already covered, they don’t need it to be.

                    legal and extralegal actions by the police are both effectively legal in the US because we effectively don’t prosecute police. as the laws illegalize queerness, what actions the police are permitted to take expands.
