San Diego firefighter gets emotional in gay parade lawsuit

SAN DIEGO — A jury has found four San Diego firefighters were sexually harassed for being ordered to participate in a gay pride parade.

The jury decided Tuesday that the four men should split $34,300 in damages.

Jurors deliberated over three days. The firefighters claimed they were subjected to sexually charged conduct and lewd comments while riding a fire engine in the July 2007 parade.

This was the second trial on the claims. In October, jurors were unable to reach a verdict.
