I don't mean to be snarky here but it sounds like this is a fantasy of yours. The LGBT float and/or marchers are going to be one of many groups of Irish descent participating in the parade. This is great news!
BTW, you may want to ponder why you only think of man on man action. There will be no sex acts on the floats. If you are interested in looking at that stuff then Google it. Loads of porn to peruse out there!!! Have fun.
He won't have to google it. We're all graced with a succession of creepy visages when the media choose to cover the San Fran parades.

IIRC a gay group in New York City *Did* sue and lost, all the way up to the SCOTUS *I Think*, will have to look it up.
Basically it came down to the same issue with the Boy Scouts; the USC guarantees freedom of association for private groups. The Saint Patrick's Day parade up Fifth Avenue *may* seem like a public event, but it isn't, rather one sponsored by a private group. Of NYC or any other city where this battle is being waged tried to put pressure on the "Irish" say by denying them a permit they would have been hauled into court and loose. Thus for years all the finger waging, hand wringing, begging and out right threats which thus far did nothing to move that goal post.
They were invited. Gays were explicitly told to stay out; they could't accept that they're not wanted.
Lawsuits+boycotts ensue.
Accept us.
Or else we will bankrupt you.
We are tolerant.
Gays were not told to stay out. The pushing of the gay agenda with the rainbow banners, etc is what was not welcomed at the parade.
