The city should not have assigned them to participate. If the original volunteers backed out, then the city should have found other willing volunteers or completely pulled themselves from the parade. A total PR no-no disaster the city opened themselves to this type of a lawsuit.

The suit was about greed. They’re just trying to make an easy buck, and they’re feigning traumatization. They’d probably roll out of their car and flop around on the ground like a fish if they so much as got rearended by a bicycle.

These men are just trying to get the money. I am a gay man, and have on many occasions been hit on by women. I don’t take it as harassment, in fact I find it a compliment. They were not handled or harrassed in any way. We as gay people face real harrassment every day. So to you firefighter (many of whom I look up to) get real!

Good Lord! Man up already. Poor little firefighter, the big bad sissies and nancy boys made remarks and flirted with you…..and for this you need counselling??!! I don’t know about anyone else, but if these ‘men’ can’t handle a little ‘taunting’, I don’t know if they’d be the firemen I’d want trying to fight a real fire or deal with a real emergency. Makes you wonder who the sissies really are.
