ANN ARBOR, MI Four respected San Diego firefighters were ordered, against their wishes, to participate in uniform on their city fire truck in the citys annual Gay Pride parade. During the course of the ensuing three hour long ordeal, the firefighters were subjected to vile sexual taunts from homosexuals lining the parade route. This included the following statements: show me your hose, you can put out my fire, youre making me hot, give me mouth-to-mouth, you look hungry, why dont you have a twinkie (from a man wearing a Girth and Mirth t-shirt), and blow my hose. These firemen are devoted husbands and fathers. When they refused to respond to the crowd, some in the crowd turned hostile and started shouting, Fk you firemen and others began flipping them off.
San Diego area attorney, Charles LiMandri, the West Coast Director of the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is representing the firefighters in their legal claims against the city. LiMandri was also the lead counsel in the successful Mt. Soledad Cross case in San Diego. A 52 year native San Diegan, LiMandri stated: What happened to these dedicated public servants was inexcusable. The City should have known from past experience the kind of offensive activities that go on at this event. This was a clear case of sexual harassment in violation of state and federal law as well as the Citys own code of conduct.
