They Wanted Sympathy and Support...

Have explained in Waterlily Story II that the police specifically wanted support from someone like my late, ex-husband--who had a drinking problem....  As long as they're not personally harmed by them, people often like alcoholics and want to help them.  And the police knew that their gay rights project was sort of half-serious.  It's been a serious effort, in some ways, but it has also seemed to be on the back burner some of the time.  And the police groups have been deliberately spread out in order that it would be hard to shut them down if they were ever exposed before they wanted to be.  It's been kind of helter-skelter, in my opinion!  But we've made progress...and I can only hope something will be settled soon?  [And the people who know about the police project have been very tolerant overall, it seems.--And most people don't know the whole story--only bits and pieces of it....]
