Gay veterans permitted to march in Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade
PBS ^ | 3/11/17 | MICHAEL D. REGAN

Gay and transgender U.S. military veterans will be allowed to participate in the city of Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade next weekend, in a reversal made by organizers on Friday.

In 2015 and 2016, members of the gay veterans’ group OutVets were allowed to march in the Boston parade, one of the largest in the country, after some sponsors threatened to pull funding from the event and local politicians threatened to boycott it.

But despite OutVets’ recent participation, the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, which organizes the parade, voted on Tuesday to exclude the group from this year’s parade on March 19, stating that a rainbow logo worn by members violates parade rules and that OutVets submitted a late application to participate in the parade. Following the decision, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh along with Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Sen. Edward Markey said they would not attend the parade.

The St. Patrick’s Day parades in Boston and NYC have essentially become “gay pride” parades.

As long as the Gay Vets march holding their rifles, and not their guns!

The CATHOLIC CHURCH should nix the parades and focus on what the LORD did through ST. PATRICK.

As a ‘regular’ veteran, I would simply skip the parade. I wouldn’t call it giving in, but rather celebrating my Constitutional right to “freely disassociate”.

Face it. Homosexuals have a strong presence in the Catholic clergy, have been emboldened and will not be easy to remove. Yet ultimately whatever the short term cost, they must be removed and the clergy reformed. Better to cancel the entire parade, celebrate the feast day of a saint with a mass than make a public accommodation and celebration of decadence in a quasi Catholic event.

Are they discriminating against vets who may have a shoe fetish?

Although I'm 100% Irish and have lived my entire life in the suburbs of one of the most "Irish" cities in the country I've only attended one St Patrick's Day Parade in my life...and that one was by accident.

A couple of years ago I happened upon the Parade in NYC.Beautiful sunny day...the trees in central Park were starting to blossom...and warm for the time of year.Very impressive,in fact.But the next year it was announced that pervs would be allowed to march in the NYC Parade.And now they're also marching in Boston.

Hey,at least I got to see one in my life.There's no way that I'll attend one where amorality is prominently,and defiantly,on display.

The Homomafia controls the Vatican and the parades now. Have to promote sodomy and unnatural, vile, dehumanizing behaviors to the little children to normalize their perversions and make Satanism “good”.

The Smoke of Satan controls the Catholic Church and organizations now. 2000 years of Ethics being flipped for the baby-killing, sodomite Ba’al Rites of Ancient Babylon (paid for and funded by the psychopathic sodomites who control Hollywood, rape all the pretty boys like in Afghanistan, and the UN child-sex traffickers, and want pederasty to be the next “Natural Right from God”.

Vice creates Slaves only. To corrupt the children and destroy the Christian worldview of the Natural family, individualism and free will (The Age of Reason)l, it is necessary to normalize irrational, vile emotions and desires in little children, so emotions will always rule reason and puerility and narcissism reigns for a lifetime (like with obama).

Maturity is impossible without Reason controlling base instincts and without virtue formation in children. Got to seduce and corrupt the young. That is what the homomafia is doing—literally destroying Right Reason according to Natural Law (our Constitution and Justice system back to tribalism and satanism/paganism).

Catholic Church is helping bring Muslims in to infiltrate our country-—hear that Catholic charities get over 2K per refugee to resettle them here-—Muslims cannot and will not assimilate with any Western culture-—read their Quaran and understand what it says and demands from a believer of Islam——cheers

This normal Vet suspects that a significant proportion of the alleged "vets" are either those with discharges other than honorable or those who never wore the uniform and self-identify with veterans.

Stolen honor, in either case, and anti-traditional-values and anti-veteran in all cases.

Great scene in Full Metal Jacket!
