I side with the parade organizers here. If they allow banners for one issue, they have to allow banners for other issues.>>>

Not necessarily, the Ancient Order of Hibernians portend to be a faithful Catholic organization where they uphold the tenets of the faith. Homosexuality is against the tenets of the faith, a mortal sin to practice and outwardly accept as ok, and that's why they are not allowed to March in any St. Patrick's Day parade anywhere. Pro-life IS a tenet of the faith, the Middlesex County RTL was always allowed to march in the parade as they did last year and many years prior to this, only to not march this year because of the abortion, stem cell and cloning issues recently passed by the democrats where the head Democrat, McGreevey was marching in his Home town. The Democrats were paying back the RTL for their stance against McGreedy.

Many K of C groups were allowed to march with their banners and chose to stand with the RTL on the Corner, other groups march with their banners: scouts, marching bands, VFW, Elks, etc. The banner was not the issue nor allowing groups with banners. It was a spiteful act against the RTL.
