This goes against everything that underlies Western Civilization. If I were the Committee I would go straight to the Courts. There is a SCOTUS opinion from 20 or so years ago that states that a parade organizer does not have to give voice to a group whose message is abhorrent to that of the organizer.
The rights of the LGBT group are not relevant - the 1st Amendment rights of the parade organizers are.
If Cardinal Dolan participates in this parade, as I suspect he will, we know everything we have to know about him.

Dolan talks as if the Church is in no longer in any way presently the organizer of the parade. He keeps saying the organizers this, and the organizers that, and that he is happy to participate in the Irish tradition celebrated originally in the parade. The name has not changed, but under the name of a saint these decadent groups and organizers have taken over, and Dolan has smiled through with his approval and presence. What is the deal? Why don’t they force a name change or lend something to lend disapproval?
