from marching in uniform. And for “The View” host Meghan McCain, it’s not sitting right.This year’s parade will mark the first since roughly 1981 that police won’t be marching, as part of a new ban that will remain in place until 2025.
The decision came as part of an effort by Heritage of Pride, Inc., the nonprofit organization that hosts most of the city’s major Pride events, to acknowledge the legacy of brutality and abuse against the LGBTQ community by police, that they say still continues today.But according to Meghan McCain, not allowing officers to march in uniform in the parade is a “ridiculous” and “counterproductive” act of exclusion itself.
