Breakdown in LGBTQ+ liaison with Capitol Hill Pride is part of a bigger fray with LGBTQ+ Pride...

When Seattle's LGBTQ+ group Capitol Hill Pride requested police traffic control for a march at Seattle Central College in June, they were turned down, after an exchange of emails.

Last year, the organizers also filed a complaint after the event's organizer Charlette LeFevre asked SPD to comply with their ban on uniformed officers during their event. They didn’t get the response they were looking for from the Office of Police Accountability, which addresses these kinds of complaints.
