San Diego Firefighters File Complaint for Being Forced to Attend Gay Pride Parade

In 28 years of responding to fires and saving lives, Fire Capt. John Ghiotto of the San Diego Fire Department never thought his job would require him to attend a Gay Pride parade.

"I've dealt with finding bodies in burning buildings, traffic accidents with kids, but I've never been so stressed out before until this incident," Ghiotto told FOXNews.com in an exclusive interview.

Ghiotto and three other firefighters filed a sexual harassment complaint against the city's fire department last week after being forced to attend the parade in uniform despite objections they made to superiors.

“I don’t want anybody else to go through this. This is a whole different ball game. I think our officials up above need to look at this,” Ghiotto said.

The firefighters claim parade attendees made obscene gestures, uttered inappropriate remarks and displayed lewd behavior that made them uncomfortable. They also demanded a work environment without discrimination and harassment.

You know what they say about Payback....

Maybe the fireman should be more open-minded toward sexual harassment (sarcasm).

Why would the fire department need to be in a gay pride parade to begin with? After reading the official complaint it sounds like they have followed the right course of action by obeying orders and addressing grievances through proper channels. Hopefully, things will turn out in their favor.
