New York City Pride organizers claim they want to "build safer environments" for "marginalized communities," so police will not be allowed to participate.

Corrections and law enforcement exhibitors will not be able to march in the parade or participate in other activities for at least five years, according to a new policy revealed by NYC Pride on Saturday.

The organizers of the world's largest gay pride festival have announced that they would hire private security and first responders to minimize the involvement of the NYPD at events.
