Glasgow  Firemen Face Discipline for Refusing to Attend Gay Pride 
 
By Gudrun Schultz
 

GLASGOW, Scotland, July 19, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Glasgow  fire-fighters who refused to participate in a gay pride event may face  disciplinary action, the Herald reported today.
 

Ten men from the Cowcaddens fire station are under investigation after  they refused orders to man an information stall during the Pride Scotia  parade. The men were told to attend the June 24 event in uniform and hand  out leaflets on fire safety.
 

The Herald reported that some refused on grounds of conscience, while  others were “embarrassed” to attend the event in uniform. Their superior  officers reported the men for disobeying orders, said BBC News.
 

Scottish National Party MSP Fergus Ewing said disciplinary action  against the men would be “unbelievable.”
 

“Fire-fighters are entitled to their private views. Since when was  handing out leaflets at a gay event considered a fire-fighter's core  duty?”
 

The gay rights group Stonewall Scotland said the fire-fighters treated  “lesbian and gay Scots” as “second-class citizens” by refusing to attend  the event.
 

Strathclyde Fire and Rescue confirmed an investigation is underway in a  press release July 12, saying “A number of fire-fighters are currently the  subject of an internal investigation concerning the delivery of  fire-safety advice at the recent Pride Scotia parade.” The fire and rescue  organization is one of the largest in Europe, covering about 2.3 million  residents.
