Los Angeles has a thriving and diverse LGBT community that historically played a significant role in the development of the entertainment industry in L.A.〔http://www.salon.com/2001/11/08/behind_screen/〕 ==History== Controversy occurred when Mitchell Grobeson, the first openly gay police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), later resigned, accusing the agency of mistreatment.〔Lasley, James.

According to Grobeson the department did not want him to actively recruit in the LGBT community.〔Burkhe, Robin. ''A Matter of Justice: Lesbians and Gay Men in Law Enforcement''.
