My friend had a small encounter with officer Krause. My friend feels humiliated with the way he was made to feel by him. Apparently, Officer Krause, didn't like the way my friend was holding his flag and thought the best and most reasonable way to tell him to hold it right was to get in his face and threaten him.

I told my friend to let the folks at the Center know so that if officer Krause pulls this stunt at another LGBT event he'll be on the watch list. I don't think people that were there to keep the peace should disrupt it in what I think was an attempt to make my friend an 'incident'.

My friend does not want to make a big deal out of this. He just feels horrible that a police officer would talk to him the way he did. I'm doing this on his behalf and hope that if anyone saw what happened that you speak up and tell us what you saw. I was away at the time and didn't see what happened. I'm simply letting you know of what I think was an attempt at causing a scene by officer Krause while the other police officers with him watched on.

Again, I must stress the importance of the NATIONAL, which actually became INTERNATIONAL protest at City Hall at 10:30. This isn't to say there isn't room or time to attend both demonstrations, but gathering together in a gay enclave will not get us noticed, and it will not let our voices be heard.

PLEASE, join the impact (pun intended) and be at City Hall. The rest of the US, and indeed many other parts of the world, will be waiting for you!

See you Saturday at 10:30 at City Hall! 400 Stewart Ave Las Vegas, NV 89101

Everyone should attend the 10:30 protest at City Hall. I am not trying to discredit the Center but I do not believe that hiding in the metaphorical closet that is Commercial Center is effective. I want action, I want change. We need to be present in the Vegas Community as whole, not just the gay community.

To clarify, the center is holding a "rally" at 2pm. A "rally" not a "protest".
THE NATIONAL PROTEST is at 10:30AM sharp in front of CITY HALL!!! (400 Stewart Ave Las Vegas, NV 89101)
Feel free to attend both, but PLEASE come to the actual national PROTEST that <i>this</i> website is all about and that instructed us
to conduct the protest at the correct time (which is the same time as the rest of the world).
Also, I hear there's going to be 5+ local news channels at the Protest.

So PLEASE bring you're flags, signs, friends, heart, and seeds of revolution to CITY HALL @ 10:30AM!!!
