not that there’s anything wrong with that
Via the BBC:
Four firefighters are due before a disciplinary hearing over their refusal to hand out leaflets at a gay pride march in Glasgow.Another five men, who are also based at the city’s Cowcaddens fire station, had their cases considered last month. All nine will be told later whether the fire brigade plans to take action.
Some of the men were opposed to attending the event on religious grounds while others did not think it was part of their core duties. However, gay rights campaigners argue that firefighters are public servants who cannot be seen to discriminate.
Gay pride is compulsory. I guess some find that a bit hard to swallow.
