South Dakota cops sued after they deliberately out lesbian sergeant to US Air Force.

For the record, I debated before using "US Air Force" instead of "White Supremacist Group". Just so you know.

The Air Force has a longstanding reputation as being institutionally (and often violently) fundamentalist Christian. Which is to say, crazy bigots with little contact with reality.

The "white supremacist" bit here is not because they're any more bigoted against blacks than they are against other minorities, but specifically because they picked a Nazi party slogan as their new motto a couple of years ago. It was possibly just an oversight and it was definitely intended to be a pun, but I have a very low tolerance for "oh, yeah, we didn't REALLY mean that, we totally weren't dogwhistling, no, not at all", especially when it happens as often as it does for the USAF.
