**I thought the courts already ruled that the straights could not keep the gays out of their parades**

What court ruled that?

What court ruled that?

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled several years back that the South Boston St. Patrick's Day parade organizers could not refuse to let a gay group march in the parade on the grounds that the parade had "no discernible theme" so they couldn't argue that the gay group didn't fit the theme.

For a wonder, the USSC, in a unanimous decision (and a rare moment of sanity), overturned the MA SJC.
