As a straight, active duty military, married man, who grew up in the Christian church... Thank you Austin PD. Nobody should be stigmatized for their sexual orientation.
Thank you for your service and upon your safe return home,you are truly lucky mate,not everyone makes the journey back home. You guys know that the world needs more love than hate having seen the atrocities of war and its destruction the lifelong scars it leaves on people. Thanks mate!
@Tiger I. F. R. Tiger I empathize with your view of service members. There are certainly horrors inflicted on the civilian populations that are not forgivable. While it is no consolation, my job in the military was to search for and find explosive devices, weapons, and caches before they could be used to inflict harm on others--both Americans and local peoples. I did carry a weapon, which was to protect myself and my canine companion from immediate harm rather than to potentially inflict mortal wounds on passers by. While that may not change your opinion of me, I do not think ill of your position. I wish you well and all the best in this difficult time.
***** No sorry actually the decent normal real Heterosexual peeps of this planet don't have a view like the heart plucked brainwashed idiot heather above and for the simple reason of TRUST nobody trust and even if they did they don't care and I speak for the real straights of the planet not the closet jobs running around ..lol
Thank you, Austin Police Department. I am a gay man in McKinney, Texas and I am so proud that you made that video. I also thank you for having the Trevor Project information at the end of your video.
I'm an Austin Police Explorer and I'm proudly Gay! I am also proud to stand by my Police Department. The fact that they did this, is very touching and just makes me love APD that much more. I can't wait to be employed with them in the near future.
Police chief Alverado is now in Houston and we could not have a better man to lead our city. His record here already speaks volumes as to the man he is. We are very fortunate to have him in H-Town.
So, you get to NEVER mention your wife, girlfriend, or children at work, then? You have to take your wedding ring off in the morning before you get there? No personal pictures of your spouse on your desk, and you never bring anyone at ALL to office parties? And never make any sort of pass at any woman in the office, no ass-grabbing or breast-staring, no innuendos and no asking out for drinks? You don't talk over or interrupt women you work with, or steal their ideas, or in other ways show you're a big bad alpha male man and they should shut up and take it? I'm cool with that as a compromise, if you want to share our world. If not, you can fuck RIGHT off out of the world entirely, dear, cuz you don't even see the water your fishy-ass condescension is swimming in, that you pour all over us. --Dave, thanks ever so, and remember, the tree of liberty gets watered with the blood of the different, until it grows new fruit and foliage
I am proud to be a Texas born and raised, I am also proud to be a gay man. This video just goes to show everyone that who we are is who we are meant to be and nothing can change that. Be proud of yourself and of who you are.
I'm just seeing this video.. I have to say, Austin should be very PROUD of all of its' Police Officers. Chief Acevedo, kudos to you and your force for the courage and the time to encourage our young citizens to believe that "It does get better". Storms with all it's doom and gloom, are short lived~ they come and they're gone as quickly as they come... APD, Well said and well done. Bravo!!
Thank you for this video. I use it in my Community and Human Relations course to show diversity in law enforcement. We sure have come a long way since I first got into this business which is good for the communities we serve. I'm glad it is "getting better."
God bless you all for your courage and your beauty. Somewhere, you've saved a life today. Thank you to the Austin Police Department for its exemplary show of inclusiveness and openness. As you can see by the comments below, it is important for love to be louder than fear.
This video was an amazingly wonderful thing to do. As a non-American, it takes my breath away to see the freedom, strength, honour, pride, and generosity of spirit displayed by these men and women of the Austin Police Department. You have no idea what an overpoweringly positive statement this video makes about America, and about all Americans. It has restored my faith in the goodness of Americans. You've done yourselves and your country proud. You're all beautiful!
+dagnytheartist Why would it "bring you down"? If you don't think it's true, then it shouldn't bring you down. Maybe you think there are something to the comments and it does bring you down?
I just watched the Columbus Division of Police "It Gets Better" Video but comments were disabled so I watched this also. Thank you! Thank you for doing this video! Thank you for doing a job that is sometimes thankless and dangerous! Thank you for your courage and fortitude! I am so proud and moved by you all! Best wishes and !Buena suerte!
I have noticed some gay people are some of the brightest and spiritual beings I have ever met. The day I noticed this, I grabbed the hand of a gay man and said, "Hey dude! You are my brother! God blessed you with a bright soul." I taught my children to respect them who in turn are teaching their own children. I am straight have no problems hugging a gay man. In fact I would rather hang out with some of my gay friends than straight friends. LOL No we all get along.
You have all inspired me! I am proud of your courage and your desire to help others!! I wish all people were so good! I have two gay children and 8 straight!! They are all equally important to me!! And they all make me so proud!!
When will it get better my good folks? With all the self righteous and prejudiced people out there who thinks they are right and others are wrong. Never mind that,do not be discouraged for we all have the right to live,my humble respects to all the police men and women who are truly amazing and deserve the full respect as law enforcement officers,you guys deserve it all the way,very inspiring video,gives me hope i love you guys you are the best i salute you.
Thank you to the Austin Police Department!!! Your personal choices in life are respected and I have the most respect for you all ...sexual preferences does not matter and for those who discriminate and judge others should be ashamed ...COPE RULE!!! ... PEOPLE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE ACCEPTED
Complete Bizarroville that an individuals sexuality defines them, or would become a basis for a club or organization. Would it be socially acceptable for other variants of sexual taste to be broadcast? Even a proclamation of heterosexuality would seem absurd. Look at me I'm straight, I have heterosexual relations! How about HMWA, Heterosexual Men Women of America? Str8 Pride? Not to mention completely deviant expressions of sexuality. Ones sexuality should not be a proclamation, its rude.
It makes me so sad that religion has ruined the lives of so many gay people. I was brought up by parents who were Buddhist and Shinto...but we were never devout. BOTH of my parents put my happiness before either religion, and when I asked them about this later in life...they both said that as parents, all they’ve really wanted was for me and my brother to be happy in life. The also both said that religions should be teaching us to love, accept, and include people who are different from us...so they said they never understood parents who put their God above their children. My parents also said that they knew I was gay from when I was a little kid (I knew about myself by the time I was 9 years old!)...so they both agreed that being gay wasn’t something that I chose, and that I was just born that way. Hehe. Before people say that it’s because my parents were younger than the parents of the people in this video...my dad was born in 1939 and my mom in 1943 (I’ll be 50 in a few years). So they were born during a time when homosexuality was frowned down upon...especially in Japanese families. I hope that the next generation of religious parents are more enlightened ‘cause the plight of LGBTQ members should be getting easier every year and every generation.
Nothing but praise and support to all of you!! Way to go! KEEP IT UP!! Wish I could shake the hands,,,, oh heck, give everyone of you a huge hug! You nailed it! :-)
Bless your hearts Austin Police Dept!!!! Not being a Texan myself you only hear negative crap about how homophobic Texas is. You guys and ladies not only represented yourselves so well you represented Texas too. Total class. Shalom from California!!!
I'm glad this video was made. I'm actualy a lesbian trapped in a man's body so I can relate to these issues. I'm also an Asian trapped in a Caucasian body. I always thought it felt funny that I liked reading lots of books and watching martial arts films. Eating with chopsticks etc
Don't have to be afraid of who I am?, I am a raping murdering bastard but you know what, I need to accept that, I am representing all those rapists and murderers and I've got to say it's just fabulous it really is..........
I never said anything about laws. I only pointed out that they are perverting what God has ordained. Premarital hetero sex is also wrong, but at least it is a normal thing to be heterosexual. But all rebels against God need to turn from their sin, not only homosexuals.
I respect all opinions however hate and judgement is NOT the word of god. Your job is to worship God and believe in him but NOT speak for him. ShowthyselfApproved how about YOU read Luke 6:37
This moved me to tears much respect too Austin , Tx police Dept. Especially to the chief Art your the bomb . Makes really me want to move to Austin , Tx to attend your police academy ! This is going to be a journey but it can only get better !!! 💖
Thank you Austin police Officers for putting yourself at risk daily for even the prejudiced and ignorant, hate spewing people out there i salute you all! Love is the secret of life and happiness. I would love to meet a gay cop one day.
Awesome, emotionally, socially disturbed individuals with psychologically "traumatized" pasts, being given a badge. Regardless of their sexual orientation,these individuals are obviously disturbed. Just listen to their statements, very insightful, revealing, as to their state of mind, emotional, suicidal, sad, mad, confused, deceitful, resentful. They don't have to like you, I'm part of a special club where no one tells me what to do and bullies are held accountable. It gets better?
This country is not new to ‘live and let live’ we , as Americans don’t need cops to tell us this. It’s basic to the fundamental rights of us all. Personallt, I find this an insult to the citizens who pay your salaries. WE DONT need this. We need trained police who Do NOT think they are discriminated against. Freaking cry babies
Austin is so progressive and forward thinking...ironically, it's city right next to it (San Antonio) is the polar opposite!! very behind in the times, I don't believe the SAPD would EVER be brave enough to make this kind of video.....sad but true!!
Damn. I'm trying to say something but it feels as if it's something that cannot be said in words. our mind and heat basically understand it as thank you.
My Mother's family came to Texas around 1810. I still have family there. Have not been back there in 50 years. As a gay man I would not feel welcome or safe there. Why any gay people would stay there escapes me.
No it will not. The world will be a darker place because of your absence. Those who you are closest to, and whom love you the most will be devastated at your passing. I sincerely hope that you are ok, and that you find someone to talk to. You deserve happiness as much as anybody else.
@@juangabrielnunezjimenez2835 Thank you for replying. The only way that you will see it , feel it or experience it is if you stay alive and persevere. I really wish I had some panacea, wise words or technique to take away your pain, but I don't. I do have some similar experience though. For many years I could only see or feel negatively about my lot in this world, closeted and always feeling alone I clung on by the skin of my teeth. I only came out aged 35 and up to that point and even after it I saw little hope for happiness. But it did come in the end. If I had taken drastic action and taken my own life I would not have the amazing memories which I cherish now. My first time being held by another man, walking hand in hand and unafraid, my very first kiss and how life affirming that was. You are young and have so much ahead of you, some bad but a lot that is good also. You may not see it now but stick around, find someone to share your problems and worries with and you definitely will. Please keep your head up Juan, happiness will come.
@@juangabrielnunezjimenez2835 Hi, I am sorry for the late reply. I am truly sorry that you see things this way, and, I hope that you will eventually find your way out of this darkness. I know talking over RUclips is not ideal but, if you ever want to vent a little or just talk about whatever is happening in our respective countries, I will be here. I hope you stay safe and well. John.
Well done APD, your stand has saved lives, I have no doubt. And to everyone, don't let these religious hypocrites get you down. God is not in them. Jesus said you will know a tree by its fruit, their fruit is hate, abuse, hypocrisy, etc, not the love of God through Jesus. They are worse than the judgemental Pharisees in the Bible that Jesus condemned. If they truly studied their Bibles rather than spreading their hate & bigotry, they would see the true love of God.
I’m always in complete amazement when a parent completely cuts off communication with their child because the child is gay…. That parent shouldn’t have had children if that’s their approach!! Parents have to accept their children no matter what!
As a straight, active duty military, married man, who grew up in the Christian church... Thank you Austin PD.
Nobody should be stigmatized for their sexual orientation.
Jazz Ridez hahah your telling this to a fucking soldier

If that's you on the photo, you are very cute ☺️✌️
Absolutely Fabulous. I am not gay or from Texas but I was a Police Officer and Sergeant for a 17 year career. I respect you all
Kudos to you and to these officers
Why hasn't there been no updated videos? This is from nine years ago!
God Bless you.Chief Acevado, You and your officers are the very best.Thank you from a 68 year old great grandma.
Thank you. It did get better and I want all young LGBTQIA folks to know that.
Police chief Alverado is now in Houston and we could not have a better man to lead our city. His record here already speaks volumes as to the man he is. We are very fortunate to have him in H-Town.

These people are beautiful.
Great video! Love from England.
Thanks so much for making this video Austin PD! There are such few videos available for police officers. This helped inspire me to make my own video!

It's so awful when people that are religious and believe that thou shalt not judge thy neighbor as thyself and they shut out people for being gay.
God bless you all for your courage and your beauty. Somewhere, you've saved a life today. Thank you to the Austin Police Department for its exemplary show of inclusiveness and openness. As you can see by the comments below, it is important for love to be louder than fear.

From my heart...I applaud you!!!! What a wonderful and positive video.
Thank you for the video and for speaking in Spanish, as that small detail resonates with people in Hispanic countries in the Americas.
You guys are amazing! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🇺🇸
Thank you for your message of hope. There are never enough out there.
I would not want no Lesbian Cop arresting my daughter. Gross deviants
Such an awesome and sweet video ... Really touching and inspirational!
This video gives me hope
So happy that I live in Austin.

My suggestion would be to get out of Texas.
Don't look at the comments it's police bashing that might bring you down.
You should be at the top. I wish I hadn't read the comments. All it did was make me feel worse about myself.
+dagnytheartist
Why would it "bring you down"? If you don't think it's true, then it shouldn't bring you down. Maybe you think there are something to the comments and it does bring you down?
I also keep hearing that "It Gets Better" but when?
Soon.
Just when you think things can't get any worse..sometimes they don't. Sometimes they get better. You're going to be fine.
: ]
Takes time.. things will get better :D
It is getting better. It is a slow process
The city of Austin is a unique spot in Texas. If only the rest of the state followed their example.
I just watched the Columbus Division of Police "It Gets Better" Video but comments were disabled so I watched this also. Thank you! Thank you for doing this video!

It's crazy, cuz 5 years later I sure have

I’m always in complete amazement when a parent completely cuts off communication with their child because the child is gay…. That parent shouldn’t have had children if that’s their approach!! Parents have to accept their children no matter what!
Lmao I thought this was a spoof video because APD officers are mostly criminals
I wish that department would accept NY application as a Sworn Officer. Where do I sign? :) PRIDE
