It has always been that way-I have lived here 25 years and know or have spoken to people over the years who have been caught by LAPD or barely escaped getting caught-
The police have had entrapement of gays doing doing nothing more then going into or coming out of a gay bar-Sometimes even raiding the bar-This went on in the 1970's, 1980's and yes the 1990's-
I believe one reason if not the only reason Gay Pride is in West Hollywood is that originally it was in Hollywood and there were police problems so it was moved to West Hollywood where LAPD had no jurisdication
