Good news, the Irish LGBT population should be included in the parade.

Fred's dead. But I have to say, I *would* turn out to see him walking. Or shuffling. Or being propped up while he was waving. Or however it is that a dead person could participate in a parade - other than, of course, being hauled in a hearse, that is not very novel.

Does anyone know whether the WBC has applied to be in the parade?

Gay pride day/parades is not good enough I guess they have to be in every parade. And people tell me there's no gay agenda.

Yeah, but if St. Pattys day is supposed to be about being Irish, then why the need to go out of your way to let everybody know you're gay?

Exactly! If you're a proud Irish what does it matter who you prefer to sleep with at night? That's your business. No need to announce it to a bunch of people who really dont care! Its about Irish pride and heritage. Not about what your sexual preference is.

It is a parade to celebrate Irish heritage that celebrates all the things that Irish do and are in this country. There are gay Irish in this country and they should be able to celebrate who they are as well. If you don't like that small part of the parade, just look at your feet as they pass by.

There are lots of groups and organizations that are in the St Paddy's parade, should they stop having them in the parade as well?

I get it, I'll have to remember that when the NYPD marches in the Pride parade. Dont want the cops pushing their militaristic agenda after all

I'm surprised it took this long actually. You'd think with all that great progressive liberalism in NY that this would have been done years ago.

All parades are lame. Does this mean I cannot call someone "Gay as a parade" anymore?
