The San Diego Fire Department has
changed its policy regarding firefighters and parades. In the future, on-duty firemen will no longer be required to drive in any parade. All future parade participation will be on a volunteer basis and four hours of overtime will be paid to those that volunteer. The right-wing Christian law firm representing the firemen who
claim they were sexually harassed at this year's Pride parade say that the new policy does not go far enough to ensure that no one is ordered to participate in parades. Not far enough? What part of "volunteer basis" don't they understand?
