It's not nice to call people out in the headline submitter.

It's Scotland. Wouldn't it be MacCrackin?

Not to be forgotten, Michael Fitzpatrick and his partner Patrick Fitzmichael who transfered from Dublin.

This is great news. People finally have a legitimate reason for beating up the police.

I dunno. Would Carson be caught dead in plaid?

I wish more men were gay.

Every gay man & his lover are two less fellows I have to compete with for all the women.

I'm sure a lot signed up when they heard about the 'long arm of the law'.

Before this turns in a gay bashing thread, let me say Cheers to the Lothian and Borders Police!

I know a very nice, very attractive gay woman officer on their force. Helped me out of a nasty mugging situation last time I was over there. She didn't even say anything about me having lost my pants. Apparently, losing your pants is rather common over there.

Holy jumping to conclusions, Batman!!!!

Being the best gay employer, the number of gays seems a bit low at 0.5%

Maybe the judging was done purely on the basis of the required uniform.

What about his colleagues Ben Dover and Pat MacGroin?

What do you mean, "before"? This is Fark - home to the biggest group of closeted geeks on the planet. Of course they're going to treat gay people as a target for jokes and derision. It takes the spotlight off them.

/Bisexual. Boyfriend and girlfriend are two of the greatest people I know, and I love them both dearly.
//Problem with that? Sucks to be you.

Closeted as in "geek" or as in "gay"?

Policeman: (to camera) Yes! Policemen make wonderful friends. So if you are over six feet tall and would like a friend, a pen friend, in the police force, here is the address to write to: 'Mrs Ena Frog, 8 Masonic Apron Street, Cowdenbeath'. Remember-policemen make wonderful friends. So write today and take advantage of our free officer.

why is this 'cool'? why would you want to encourage this kind of behavior?
