Ok that sounds fucked up. As does the article. But...

How do the cops recognize you as queer? I bet if 100 cars drove by me I couldn't recognize a single one confidently as gay/lesbian/queer/a sexual/whatever label you want.

Hell I drove home today, can't tell you if the car behind me was a male or female, how do cops spot this?

Latina maybe... Purposed eye looking for a face style.... Lesbian... I can't think of a look that says "that female car driver loves eating pussy".

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I can't think of something you can do and make me think you're a Lesbian vs straight while driving

it's often just that they pull you over and make a judgement in the moment whether you're worth their respect or not.

Like the other person said, bumper stickers are likely to give it away. I used to have a policy that any time one got vandalized I would replace it with two, so I had 5-6 by the time that happened. I was also driving a beater car which I'm certain is the original reason they pulled me over

This is the same police force
