A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a group of San Diego firefighters who sued the city for forcing them to participate in a Gay Pride parade.
Well, the big babies lost their case. The judge ruled that participating in parades is part of community building — just as I predicted he would.

A San Diego judge has ruled the city did not act illegally when it ordered four firefighters to take part in a gay pride parade. The ruling, by San Diego Superior Court Judge Michael Anello, came a week after a mistrial was declared in a sex discrimination lawsuit by the firefighters.
In his ruling, Anello rejected a motion from the the firefighters’ attorney for an injunction barring the city from from requiring participation in parades.
