CBN News a Year Later

The Christian Broadcasting Networ is reporting a story today about how firefighters were forced to man a vehicle in the San Diego Gay Pride Parade. The only problem, the story is about 2007 Gay Pride.
But there is a 2008 fireman story, and it was reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Tonai, a 17-year fire department veteran, signed up to ride in the 2008 gay pride parade under the city’s all-volunteer parade policy, which San Diego Fire-Rescue Chief Tracy Jarman instituted in response to the 2007 controversy.
“A whole bunch of people wanted to do this,” Tonai told me.
But on parade day many of them were off battling wildfires up north, and the job went to Tonai and three female colleagues.
…
I asked him what he thought of his parade duty.“The crowd response was just awesome,” Tonai said. “To me, it justifies what I do. There’s definitely nothing negative about this event.”
And as for the lawsuit filed last year by firemen who were offended by “celebration of lewdness and obscenity in support of the homosexual agenda”, well its certainly no without its own entertainment.
