Homosexual activists in New York are pressing organizers of the St. Patrick's Day parade to include more gay-rights groups in the march.
Following up on last week's announcement that Out@NBCUniversal would be allowed to enter the 2015 parade, a group called Irish Queers announced on September 9 that it was applying for a place in the parade. "We want to march up Fifth Avenue as an Irish diaspora that has finally joined Ireland in rejecting religion-fueled bigotry," said a spokesman.

The last parade I attended or watched on tv was during the Carter years.
It sounds like they’re going to have to rename the parade, “St. Freako’s Sexual Deviancy Day Parade”.
This “parade” is going to be a complete circus, freak show!
(Ergo, May be worth watching)
Looking for a backdoor way in, eh?
May as well call it “Folsom Street East”.
It's NOT in honor of SAINT PATRICK anymore.
gay ‘n green = gangrene
All this hoo-ha for .5-1.5% of the population.
It makes NO sense.
Who didn’t see that coming?
Really, what you said is exactly what they want to do: take it over and turn it into another gay thing. And Dolan will no doubt be beaming upon them all the while.
To quote the Cardinal - “Bravo!”.
Agree,Hope the majority of participants cancel.
Next it will be to get rid of the “Saint” as be non inclusive of all religions and will be called Patricks parade or something equally awful.
They already have a gay parade from New York.
It is called the NBC prime time line up.
“All this hoo-ha for .5-1.5% of the population”
What you people never consider is that a whole lot bigger percentage of the population is steeped in sexual immorality and this subgroup is just that. The larger hoard welcome the homosexuals and appreciate the cover. Who are they to condemn.
You can’t be a drunk exclusively with fine wine and take to the soap box against those who get drunk on cheep vodka. Drunk is drunk, Immorality is immorality.
The problem with LGBT parades is that nobody wears anything.

Is it wrong to wish that every spectator just turn their backs on them whenever they prance by???
“Just turn it into a LGBT parade where everyone wears green and have done with it”.
Any time homosexual are allowed to march in a parade they turn it into an orgy of debauchery. Half naked men will be simulating having sex with other perverts and if any little kids are watching the parade that is exactly what they will witness. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade should be discontinued. It’s nothing anymore. And Dolan should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
That’s pretty much what it’s turned in to. Sad. Hope the attendance numbers reflect a disgust in this new “format”.
DeBlasio wants to turn NYC into Stalingrad. Get rid of all the tourist magnets, however, and you lose quite a bit of money. One million tourists come just for the parade.
As I mentioned on another thread, I’ve heard the goal is to get rid of the parade. LGBT people think they are fighting their little courageous fight, but they are just tools in a larger atheistic plan. Nobody really cares about them.
By giving in to one group the parade is being converted inexorably into a Queer Parade. By next year that is all it will be.
