A gay group will be able to march under its own banner in the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade for the first time on March 17, organizers said Wednesday.
The nations oldest and biggest St. Pat's parade will lift the ban on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups that want to participate while identifying themselves as gay.
Those of us who are Irish and LGBT would watch this city celebrate and know we werent welcome, former City Council speaker Christine Quinn, who boycotted the event for decades, told the Daily News.
To have that end, not only puts all of that behind us, I hope it sends a message to communities all over the world to not give up the fight, said Quinn, who is openly lesbian. Be proud of yourself. Dont hide who you are.
The groups have been prohibited from identifying themselves at the centuries-old event because organizers said they wanted to avoid politics. Most marching units in the parade carry identifying banners.

They fooled the organizers by telling them they spoke Gay-lick.

How dare you hold a parade and not invite the gays.
You know how much they like a parade.

It’s only fair, the Progressives and particularly the “Pro-Choice” movement are always so welcoming and eager to let opposing viewpoints be represented.

So can other perversions identify themselves under a banner, or will they face discrimination?
