The GLLU, MPD’s Gay and Lesbian Liason Unit, serves the District’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender communities. Last week in police activity related to the GLBT community:

* Ongoing: A repeat offender. Since 2005, the GLLU has waged an “ongoing investigation of domestic violence” between “an adult male victim and his former male domestic partner.” Over the years, the suspect has served time for “stalking, threats, violations of a Civil Protection Order and Contempt of Court.” For “many months,” the GLLU has been working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in investigating the suspect’s new victim, described only as “a third party in the Dupont Circle area.”

* Sept. 13: Verbal harassment between house mates. The victim has reported “homophobic remarks and epithets by one of the other male residents” of a private home. The GLLU classified the incident as “a hate/bias motivated incident,” described as “one that does not rise to the level of a criminal offense, but does involve behavior that demonstrates . . . hatred, bias or prejudice towards the victim’s actual or perceived status.”

* Sept. 23: Turning himself in. A man reported a domestic assault to the police; upon arrival, “officers determined the caller had assaulted his boyfriend.” The caller was placed under arrest.

* Sept. 24: Pay up. Officers responded to a “disorderly customer” at a Dupont bar; the patron, who the police determined to be “mentally ill,” had “failed to pay his bar tab.” The man’s family will pay the tab.

* Sept. 29: Unwelcome sleepover. A landlord contacted the GLLU for advice on a landlord/tenant dispute. The landlord’s gripe? The tenant was “allowing a male visitor to stay overnight on multiple occasions.”
