New York City cancels all nonessential events through June (Gay Pride takes it in the shorts)

New York City is extending its cancellation of permitted nonessential events through June as officials work to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced Monday.

De Blasio said in a news conference that the move will apply to parades, concerts, rallies and other large gatherings. He noted that the LGBT Pride, Puerto Rican Day and Salute to Israel parades would be affected by the decision.

"The bottom line is to think about safety, to think about saving lives, protecting people’s health, speeding us to that day when we get more normal," de Blasio said. "This is the right thing to do."

De Blasio added that many of the event organizers are already developing plans to hold the festivities later in the year. He specifically cited the LGBT Pride Parade, noting that New York City was preparing for its 50th anniversary of the first celebration.

"We're going to miss them, but they will be back, and we will find the right way to do it," de Blasio said.

No bailout. Zero. They're doing this to themselves.

I don’t think it’s the queers you need to be worried about, De Blasio.

I highly doubt it. Even the San Francisco Sodomites have packed it in, as it were, for 2020.

LGBT
Should be LGBTQ

They left off the last letter: Q = questioning.
Now, I bet you thought I'd write "queer" but it really is supposed to be "questioning," though all the abnormal sexual identities flout the laws of God. The design is ONE man and ONE woman, married to each other.
I think that there will be hell to pay for those people.

Well, that decision sure sounds like a curse from a nosy neighbor:
“May your son fall in love with a Puwrto Rican Jew Lesbian!”

Since the country is in lock down it probably depends on how long this lock down will last.
I just looked up the date for the "parade" and it's scheduled for June 28. I ASSUME that it includes all U.S. cities...with the exception of Honolulu.

When do the protests begin? When does the hand wringing by the media begin? Probably pretty quickly.

Bend the knee and kiss that ring and you give your life to the King of NY.

In the shorts?
They are actually wearing shorts?
If so, that would remove at least a small part of the “eeeeeeuuuuuuu” factor.

Just think how many lives will be saved by the cancellation of the Gay Pride parade.
