"If an Israeli group wants to march in New York, do you allow Neo-Nazis into their parade? If African Americans are marching in Harlem, do they have to let the Ku Klux Klan into their parade?"

So did gays persecute the Irish?

They've been persecuting the Saint Patricks's Day Parade for 16 straight years via the legal system. Can you imagine the arrogance of suing your way to an invitation to someone else's party?

The St. Pat's parade is not about being Irish. It is a show of force by persecuted Catholics. It is outdated at this point, but that is its raison d etre.

The parade is in honor of Saint Patrick who is a saint in the Catholic Church. Gay type activity is against that religion. Sort of like showing up with statues of Mary and trying to join a Baptist parade.

No. But they're in the process of persecuting Catholics--by trying to force us to change our beliefs to suit them.

This is a Roman Catholic parade and homosexual priests betrayed the Roman Catholic Church by molesting little boys whom were both Roman Catholic and Irish. So the answer to your question, (So, did gays persecute the Irish?) is an emphatic yes.
