Sgt. Tyler Peppard filed a lawsuit against Oceanside, claiming he faced discrimination and harassment due to his sexual orientation after being outed by his partner.
After being outed, Peppard noted a significant change in colleagues' attitudes, highlighting the systemic issues within the police department regarding LGBTQ+ treatment.
'Your lifestyle choices do not add up to the values of our police department,' was one of the comments made by his supervisor during a pivotal meeting.
Peppard's experiences underscore the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in law enforcement, particularly in environments lacking support and inclusivity.
