Just in time for Gay Pride Week, the NYPD has backed down and reached a settlement with the Audrey Lorde Project, a transgender group, onNYTurf is reporting. The cops had denied the group a parade permit for a second year in a row, so the trannies dragged the cops into court. (I just got a funny visual image of some transgender folks literally dragging some cops by their ears.) Anyway, they’ve apparently reached a settlement, and despite the NYPD’s better judgment, the transgender group will be allowed to peacefully assemble tomorrow.
