Shocking Footage Shows Police Forcing Lesbian to Leave Women's Bathroom
License, registration and proof of Genitalia please
Footage has surfaced alleging to show police officers forcing an unidentified woman to leave
a women's restroom facility, once again proving
the dire impactof the recent swath of
anti-LGBT laws across the country. The woman, reportedly a lesbian, is called "sir" by the officers as she's unfairly tasked with attempting to convince them she's a woman. The footage, uploaded to Facebook
by Tamara McDaniel, has quickly garnered millions of views since first being shared last week.
The officers are heard demanding ID from the woman, who reveals she doesn't have one on her. A male officer is then seen screaming in the woman's face as friends plead for the officers to properly deescalate the situation. These pleas, however, are instead met with hostility and repeated requests for an ID. Of course, this loudly begs the question: Why the hell should anyone have to show an ID
just to use the restroom? The exact location of the footage, which
made it to the
Daily Star after surfacing on Facebook, is unknown.
