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.

I would have quit first before I was forced to attend a fagfest. This lezbo chief was so far over the line it's ridiculous. She's the one that should have faced disciplinary action.

YOU WILL celebrate “diversity”. Or else.......

San Diego fire chief Tracy Jarman, an open lesbian, said she apologized to the men, according to a statement. Jarman said any kind of sexual harassment is "unacceptable, and is never tolerated" in the department.

There you have it at the end of the day....

Homosexuality is a mental disorder, pure and simple.

Years ago before they were “out” and in your face, I had to work a private “gay night” in 1979 at Six Flags Magic Mountain. 20,000 screaming maniacs running into the amusement park all at once — the clothes, the behavior. It was a life altering experience.

That is really sick.

They will be lynched for complaining.

It’s just like old Lot hearing a knock on his door!

She apologized for what they endured at the parade. Not for forcing them to go in the first place.

I had the unpleasant experience of being on the wrong “end” of Bourbon Street during a Mardi Gras with my young bride where we witnessed, in the short time it took us to flee the area, vile public sexual acts by fags attending a boisterous outdoor drag queen contest. This is the kind of public behavior that the “Gay Pride” advocates want to mainstream and turn the entire country into San Francisco. The LezChief knew damn well what goes on at those events.

Jarman is obviously running for cover on this, but she has no wiggle room, since there was already another complaint from a previous parade a firefighter was ordered to attend and since she can't claim ignorance about the atmosphere in which these parades take place. Since Mayor Sanders appointed her and has supported her, he has no cover either.

It's always fun to see these reverse discrimination suits arise, invoking the same politically correct statutes the homos have used to force acquiescence to their agenda. Turnabout is fair play and I'm predicting the city will have to settle and the chief lesbian will be bailing out, golden parachute and all.

She should be removed from office. Imagine a person of authority surviving making women walk against their will through crowds of men yelling sexual epithets and making obscene gestures at them.

Any male that ordered this would be castrated first, shot second, then exiled.
