Four San Diego firefighters sue for being forced to participate in the city's gay pride parade.
  • Who should win?

    Should the firefighters win the case? Or should they toughen up?

    Hmm... On the one hand, I suspect they particpate in July Fourth celebrations, but in that case they are celebrating something that ALL citizens are a part of.

    On the other hand, they aren't gay, and making them participate is absurd as it exposes them to taunts that they clearly wouldn't appreciate.

    It seems like a no-brainer to me... Would it be any different to force african american firefighters to participate in a Klan rally? Or Catholic firefighters to participate in a pro-choice rally?
