Basically San Diego firefighters were forced to attend a gay pride by their superior.....the firechief was a lesbian.

[url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,292442,00.html]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.[/url]

Just imagine if it were the other way around. A straight Fire Chief told some gay firefighters that they must attend a function at a church, and while there the parishoners jeered and condemned them.

Oh then it would be all over the news and would be this big horrible ordeal with the chief being fired and on going investigations.

Only FOX News reported it.
I searched the other news websites and their was no mention.
See the far left will see this as "being accommodating to their lifestyle"
I can't take this hypocrisies...

Yeah I should too I guess.
But I am not holding my judgment about the Mainstream Media (exception: FOX News) which glances over a story like this but would be all over one if the situation was reversed.
