The recent fire-truck-in-a-Pride parade controversy has put a new spin on an old story. In the past, the issue centered on the fact that some firefighters didn’t want to participate in community Pride parades when they were mandated to do so by their department or the city. This time, the problem was that the firefighters who participated may have been a little too enthusiastic about doing so, at least according to their department.
The reported facts are these: A Spokane, Washington, fire truck participated in the city’s Pride parade on June 14. The members of that company now face potential discipline because they allowed an unauthorized person (and a cat!) on the rig with them and they were flying Pride flags off the side of the truck.
