As a police officer, Eric Moutsos had no problem with working security at a gay-rights parade, but he did have a problem with kicking off the festivities by performing a choreographed routine as part of the department’s motorcycle squad.
As a result, Mr. Moutsos is no longer employed by the Salt Lake City Police Department. He resigned last year after the department ordered him to turn in his badge and his firearm in June, then placed him on administrative leave, for raising objections to the assignment.
In an interview with The Washington Times, Mr. Moutsos said he hasn’t changed his mind about the department’s role in the parade.
“It looks like we’re doing a type of a celebration in front of the parade,” Mr. Moutsos said. “I didn’t feel OK with being in front of that parade. And I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, I simply didn’t want to be in one.”

Good for you officer. Shows you have dignity.
The choreography performance was "Twerking" to the audience, most men would object to this! He is a hero, a man that didn't bow to political pressure to accept deviant behavior.
Remember when Gays just wanted tolerance ? How bout some back?
