Police in Bellevue were on high alert Tuesday night as several planned protests took place and a group marched in the streets of downtown. 

The activity was initially in response to a law enforcement appreciation dinner that was hosted by Reverend Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, who has become a controversial figure for making anti-LGBTQ rights statements in the past.

Seattle Police declined an invitation to join the event. Bellevue Police said they were not invited.

"I’ve always felt welcomed as a queer man here until really this moment," said Chris Randels of Bellevue. "BPD and the city can’t just have a hands-off approach. They need to formally come out and say this event is not condoned by the city and then officers should not attend."
