Firefighters forced to attend Gay Pride parade win lawsuit

Gays not obsessed with sex or out to “recruit” straights to their “agenda” or anything like that. Nope…

These men were sexually harassed in clear violation of San Diego’s sexual harassment code,” LiMandri said. “Further, the California Constitution’s freedom of speech provision prohibits compelled speech. What the firefighters were ordered to do was endorse what goes on at this parade through their participation in it.”

The case detailed how the firefighters were sexually harassed through lewd cat calls and obscene gestures at the event, which was replete with sexual displays and graphic images.

The men then suffered harassment and retaliation after complaining to superiors, the complaint said.

San Diego’s fire chief, Tracy Jarman, is an open lesbian who called the parade a “fun event” in which “all employees are encouraged to participate.”
