''This guy was operating in the heart of the gay entertainment district for years acting on his anti-gay animus and no one in an official [capacity] was calling him out on it.... He was operating out of the Town Hall police station.... [They are] supposed to be a shining oasis for sensitivity training for the LGBT community. If this happened there, one can only imagine what the situation is [elsewhere]."
Andy Thayer, co-founder of the Gay Liberation Network remarking about some 11 lawsuits that are to be filed against police officer Richard Fiorito, which allege that he used anti-gay language and made false driving while intoxicated arrests of people in the Town Hall District of Chicago. His alleged reason was to get overtime for having to appear in court regarding the charges. (CBS2 Chicago)
