Except the language about “sensitivity training” comes from Donohue, not the parade organizers. Anyone who has ever participated in a parade (as Donohue has done many, many times) knows what type of meeting this was. They happen with nearly every parade, particularly in nyc, where the NYPD is pretty strict about logistical issues.
Just keep repeating your mantra and your naïve assumptions about the people who run the New York City gay pride parade.
