Brought me back to the time when the "christian firefighters" fought the women firefighters being in the pride parade on talk radio in seattle.It was a battle and i had to get all participation on off duty time.
That was about 15 yrs ago when when i didnt have enough women firefighters volunterring to be in it.. CUZ!... they ALL were going to san fran pride and we had become so popular and were expected to be in it. I got a call from the mayors office saying.....WHY?
I told them ever since it has been with on duty firefighters and the mayor walks with us... It was a battle and it has been over for 10 yrs!

Progress.... glad those days are past!
