Gay-for-a-day cops
In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Cops Walk A Mile In Our Shoes in a non-gay area "pretending to be gay".
The first exercise involved two new cops. They wore civvies and walked hand in hand down Whyte Avenue, a typical commercial street.
One guy said the avenue seemed to close in on him. He felt a heightened awareness of security -- very aware of the people around him. He felt intimidated. A group of construction workers was working on a wall, and they shut down their work to see this, when these guys walked by. I think that's when the intimidation hit.
[The other guy] said he felt angry because one man gave him a dirty look and then said something to his wife.
