Most of the people I work around could care less about a person's sexual orientation. All most of us care about when it comes to fellow law enforcement officers are if they will have your back, if they are officer safety conscious and if they are workers. The only time I see sexual orientation brought up as an issue is from gay/lesbian groups with an agenda. Don't let your sexual orientation stop you from joining our ranks. On the other hand, don't use it as a crutch as to why you did not succeed.
Good luck in your endeavors.

We have several gay people working at my department. Nobody bats an eye.
I don't care who you sleep with or who you marry. All I care about is them making it over a fence if I'm getting my *** kicked and if they can put lead downrange when needed.There once was a man who said: "Though,
it seems that I know that I know,
what I'd like to see is the I that knows me,
when I know that I know that I know."

Not that there's anything wrong with that........
We have several homosexual officers in our agency, and they are treated like everyone else as far as I know. One of my favorite sergeants was, but he has since passed away.
I'm not going to pick out every one in my agency, but there is a female in my academy right now because of my encouragement. She will make a very good officer in the upcoming months.
My favorite cop show, "Southland" had a main character who was a homosexual, and it made way way too much drama out of it. It messed up the show because I just don't see it as being a problem in the real world.

Bottom line: If you're gay and considering becoming a police officer, you should focus your soul-searching on other aspects of the career. Things like working midnights and weekends, lack of sleep, constant stupid cop questions from family and friends, people introducing you as "Matthew the cop," dead babies, constant second-guessing and armchair quarterbacking from the public, an administration with whom you do not agree, and other aspects of the lifestyle are going to affect you far more than being gay. Like one of my esteemed colleague said, no one cares anymore.MAC
