Is the parade really refusing to let gay veterans march, or are they refusing to allow them to wear rainbow-colored thongs and “Pride” banners therefore turning a Catholic holiday into an orgy?
The latter, of course. The parade was negotiating with this group of "gay veterans" in good faith. The original compromise was to allow the group to march without any identifying signs.
Then the parade organizers learned that the "gay veterans group" consisted of one gay veteran, and twenty sympathizers. So the organizers, sensing an impending orgy, scrubbed the group from the approved list.
Meanwhile, Catholic school groups decided to rejoin the parade.
So far, so good. And it looks like time is running out for the perverts.
