Organisers say there are real concerns within the LGBTQ+ community about 'police homophobia'.
Mr Tatchell believes the deaths were not taken more seriously because of assumptions officers made about the victims' sexuality.
Mr Tatchell said there were many "good" police officers, who were welcome to march in civilian clothing: "Our objection is not to them but to the police as an institution that is failing the LGBT+ community," he said.
However, Mr Tatchell said he did not agree that a police presence at Pride should end, as he believed Pride was a "potential target" for extremists.
