Firefighters may sue over pride parade participation {San Diego)

San Diego UNION-TRIBUNE ^ | August 7, 2007 | Pauline Repard

Didn't realize that anyone in this country was ever forced to participate in a parade - sounds like these firefighters didn't have such a good time there.

Hmmm...

Sounds like sexual harassment to me..

[ASA Vet]

Is there a prize for 7th?

Fire Chief Tracy Jarman

Could Tracy be one?

[Baladas]

I see that - the title search was “exact”, didn’t pick it up - this is from the Union-Tribune, a pro-homosexual rag IMO.

I am wondering if the ACLU will be in their corner on this one?

The former chief of the Seattle police dept used to participate in the gay pride parade, on duty and in uniform. Several of his men were disciplined for participating in a christian function while on duty and in uniform.
Bet the same would happen to those firemen in San Diego, particularly as the former SPD chief, Norm Stamper, came from San Diego PD.

The article states that she is a lesbian.

Alternative life style functions by public employees should be volunteer.

He has a point that he need not participate however my community pays taxes and having the fire truck for our 4th of July parade and feeding the firefighters bbq afterwards as they let the children in the community see th equipment up close is important. I’d hate to lose it like everything else taxpayers are forced to give-up.

In the peoples republic of Madison Wisconsin, back in the day, we had a threefer - an Hispanic, lesbian Fire Chief. Dunno if she’s still there. Had a face for radio, for sure.

Hint: When searching use a single word as a search term not the whole thing.
Examples, I used only the word "firefighters". Xcamel used "gay" which is a liberal cover name for homosexual.
Both found most of the threads.

[lilylangtree]

It took a lawsuit for Jarman to wake up and smell the roses. Sheesh!

[Baladas]

No, I only take the title in quotes, that saves on the c/p. Any thread that’s even on the same subject seems to be a pet peeve of “xcamel”, admins can remove what they think is a duplicate thread.

Are there any straight female fire fighters? Are female fire chiefs by definition lesbian?

At least around here there are far more "straight" female firefighters than lez's. There is only one female chief in our county, I trained her years ago. I also trained her husband, and soon will have their son in an academy. She's not a Lez. She got the position though hard work, getting the needed training, and putting in enough years. I can't speak of Californicate and similar lefty places.

Baladas, pay no attention to the man behind the monitor.
He is addicted to finding previous threads.
He is the Commander and Chief of the SAPPS.

Prior to there being mods, the members would have jumped in your shorts big time for wasting band width and their time. Seems to be much less concern now that Jim has unlimited space.

Do what you want, if Jim objects, I'm sure he's let you know.

[no-to-illegals]

This one (the fire chief) must have Borg ancestry.

[freekitty]

I hope they sue.
