The LA Times says, "They say they were forced to drive their firetruck in the parade and were subjected to lewd comments." Also, "The four say they were ordered to drive their firetruck in the three-hour parade even though firefighters at previous parades had been subjected to catcalls and sexually suggestive comments by parade watchers", as well as, "Along with the sexual harassment contention, the lawsuit also alleges that the gay pride parade should be seen as a political event, "designed to advocate for the civil rights of homosexuals, and in recent years to promote the controversial concept of gay marriage." By forcing the firefighters to participate in the parade, the suit contends, the city was improperly recruiting them to support a political cause." Basically, it would be tantamount to you being asked to march in a McCain parade.

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I should have read the article!
Wait, why was a fire truck needed in the parade then?
