New Yorks St. Patricks Day Parade will finally end its ban on gay groups marching in its annual Irish celebration, organizers said Wednesday.
The organizing committee said this move to change of tone and expanded inclusiveness is a gesture of goodwill to the LGBT community in our continuing effort to keep the parade above politics.

By capitulating to the lie the AOH has now made the parade about nothing but politics - if one group is allowed to march under their own banner promoting their own cause then all groups must be allowed to march under their own banner promoting their own cause. To do otherwise would in fact be discrimination.
Where does it end? Pro-abortion marchers? Nambla marchers? To include one group and not others is discrimination.
By capitulating to the lie and phony ginned-up "controversy", the AOH have shown weakness of mind and weakness of heart. Damnable cowards, I'll pray for your soul. Just not yet.
Could they find another name for this travesty? It is a disgrace to defame the name of faithful St. Patrick in this way, and the Roman Catholic Church should make this clear to parade organizers.
It is tragic that some people give up on their faith.
How sad.
Can anyone doubt that of all the groups in America, the sodomites are the most powerful, hateful, dangerous of all, to include the communists who now control the country under the direction and command of the sodomites.
Don’t forget that Fatso Cdl Dolan is going to be the Grand Master.
ST Patrick is a Catholic saint.....I hope the parade organizers get sued into not using a saint’s name for the gay rights travesty....
Actually, this is rather expected since Francis is kissing Korans. Soon, he’ll be kissing...well, never mind.
I am disappointed with Bill Donohue’s cowering tepid response.

It doesn't - until the parade has no meaning anymore - which is the leftist goal, to tear apart the fabric of America.
Homosexuality is cultural graffiti. Eventually the vulgarity has to come out, and ruin everything else.
Q: What’s green, five miles long, and has an @$$hole every three feet?
A: A St. Patrick’s Day parade.
Truth crushes comedy.
...the newest Cowboi !
Can anyone, anyone at all please, please explain to me what faggotry has got to do with New Yorks St. Patricks Day Parade.
Sooooo while we are at let’s combine Martha Stewart and the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, makes as much sense doesn’t it.
How about bowling and opera? Why not?
For the love of God what is happening to this once great nation...
That IS a surprising response from Donohue!
Regards,
My parish priest and I were chatting today, and he seemed down, I asked what was wrong and he told me gays will be permitted to march in the St Patrick's Day Parade.
I mentioned they always have been permitted, and he replied, no Martha, now they are permitted to march under a gay banner.
Its the queers flaunting their perverted lifestyle to the Christians, in your face!
that is shocking.
I’m not sure the AOH has control anymore. It seems that they handed it over to an “independent parade committee” some years ago.
I no longer know who has the parade permit. It’s all very confusing.
Here’s a timeline that tries to explain it all:
Regards,
PS: But I’ll send a note to the AOH anyway. Couldn’t hurt.
Is Donahue being held hostage somewhere, with a gun pointed to the head of a female family member?
That’s how this statement reads.
Horrible horrible capitulation.
