Ride With Pride. Or Else.

Four heterosexual San Diego Fireman were ordered by their Department to ride in a local gay pride parade. According to statements from the four, they were subject to taunts, harassment, advances and insults during the ride. The local fire chief, who allegedly directed that fireman be in the parade, has since apologized.

I’m not a betting man, but if I were I’d put my money on these four being excoriated for even raising an objection, and smeared with charges of “bigot”, “homophobe” and the like until they drop their complaints.
