why do we have to inject homosexuality into every public event?
what does homosexuality have to do with St. Patrick’s Day?
Don’t they have enough fabulous opportunities for self expression and all that during the annual gay pride parades and events? Must they co-opt other events, and in this case, tell us that gays like St. Patrick’s Day too? Is this really necessary???
St Patricks Day is all about homosexuality. Always has been. It’s shocking that anyone would want to suddenly change the traditional approach and introduce something like the Irish, or bring any sort of Saint into the picture. Where do they come up with these ideas??? Let’s get the parade back to a celebration of fudge packing and just move on with our lives.
The St. Patrick Day organizers are foolishly trying to keep the parade focused on the Irish.
St. Patrick's Day, like all other events, is supposed to be all about promoting leftist causes. Why are the St. Patrick Day organizers being so insensitive?
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade has traditionally been a celebration of the Catholicism that sustained Irish immigrants as they became Americans. The parade is preceded by a mass celebrated by the Cardinal at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.The review stand sits on the steps of St. Patrick’s. It is not clear why homosexuals would want to intrude on a Catholic celebration when they have so distanced themselves from the values and beliefs of Catholicism. Would it be appropriate for a contingent of German army veterans to march in the Salute to Israel parade? It is appropriate that politicians such as DeBlasio and Walsh who take public positions such as pro abortion and pro gay marriage exclude themselves or are excluded. It would be hypocritical for them to march in a Catholic celebration. Also people of conscience should be forced to “march” with them in any manner.
“It’s 2014 - it’s far beyond the time where we should be even having this discussion because they’re veterans who fought for this country just like any other veteran”
So why separate themselves from any other veteran?
Saint Patrick’s Day parades are for the Gaelics, not for the gay licks. Who cares if those two a**&$#@s are not going to be there?
Within five or ten years, the escalating antics of homosexuals are going to result in political benefits for those mayors who march in any parade from which explicit homosexual provocateurs have been excluded.
As someone who has been to the NYC parade a few times I’m happy to hear this. To me, the low point in the parade is when some dopey Italian/German/Jewish/Hispanic/Black mayor makes an ass out of himself walking up Fifth Avenue in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, wearing an Irish sweater his chief of staff purchased that morning.
All gay all the time
God has disabused New York's Catholics of that notion.
What’s the over/under for all-gay-all-the-time Passion Plays this upcoming Christmas Season?
These fairies make me want to puke.
They can stay the heck home then. The Pat’s celebrants don’t need their agenda driven presence.
The media will now go full out to condemn the parade organizers as barring homos from marching because they’re HATERS!!!!! The facts are, there have probably been many thousands of homosexuals who’ve marched in those parades over the decades. They just didn’t identify themselves as such. Another reason to hate DiBlasio and the stupid Boston mayor.
Frankly...I wouldn’t mess with a *Southie*.
These mayors made political decisions. The homosexuals are more important than the Americans who are of Irish descent. Vote Republican.
Who wants the corrupt Commie mayor of NYC in the parade, anyway? If I was an organizer, I’d be thrilled that freak was avoiding it.
Yep, we’ve gone from “You must tolerate us.” to “You must celebrate us.”
....and the decline continues.
Let those mayors stay away. Who needs more queer loving morons at their parade?
