Dee would have liked to go full on with a rainbow t-shirt, maybe a jacket with a rainbow emblazoned across the back, throughout the whole of June, but he was a detective in serious crimes, and the Chief tended to take a dim view of his detectives wearing anything that drew too much attention to them. He could wear his Pride colors proudly when he wasn’t at work, which was great, but on the job, he was expected to be more discreet.
Ryo had solved the problem for both of them, getting small yet noticeable pins with both the rainbow and the Bi flag on, for the two of them to wear; if the Chief didn’t like that, well, tough.
That was how it had started out, anyway, with the two of them wearing their badges from the beginning of June, but by the end of the first week, the entire Serious Crimes Unit, plus at least a thirty people in other departments, including several people in forensics, were all wearing the badges.
“This is a police precinct, not a Pride parade!” the Chief was grumbling.
“Can’t it be both?” Ryo asked, all innocence. “I got badges for you as well, Sir. As officers of the law, we really should show our support, so that anyone in the community who’s being discriminated against, or harassed, knows that the police are on their side.”
“Hmpf,” the Chief muttered, scowling at his detectives. “I suppose that makes sense. Fine, gimme those badges.”
The End
