They spent decades on the sidelines every March 17 loudly protesting their exclusion from the New York City St. Patrick’s Day parade, and proclaimed victory last year with the inclusion of the first Irish gay group, the Lavender and Green Alliance, but the protest group called Irish Queers appears to have had enough of the Fifth Avenue march after only a year and won’t take part in 2017.

In a new post on its blog titled “Sorry not sorry! Join us this St. Patrick’s Day!,” a message from Irish Queers says the group will be “repping Irish America at a protest for immigrants’ rights, rather than at the NYC parade.” …

Appeasement of the Left only begets new outrages.

Eff ‘em.

Good riddance.

Obviously, they never cared about the parade in the first place - which we all suspected. Besides, on a freezing cold day like today, they couldn’t exactly march in their green sado-masochistic leather outfits.

Timmy Dolan deeply saddened I’m sure.

So, no gay-lick at the parade?

“repping Irish America at a protest for immigrants rights”

I think they mean illegal aliens because legal immigrants have all of the same rights as other American citizens.

I could say something about meat and it being Friday, and Lent no less-

Huh??

[Reily]

I think he meant “ instead of a beer! “

I guess you had had to be there!

[Leep]

Noted..?

[StonyBurk]

right on appeasement. But I wouldn’t pleasure them.

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution.” I can hardly wait for the list of stern non-negotiable demands. Afraid I have some bad news, though. Guys? The illegals think you’re queer too.

So once the attention was off regarding their being ‘excluded’, they needed something to call attention back to themselves. Not very smart group though, since they don’t seem to understand the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigration. I’m sure there are some illegal Irish immigrants in the US, but the vast majority got here legally, though many of the early ones did it through indentured servitude.
