I’m shocked about the organizers refusing to allow pro-gay signs...that’s actually amazing in this era of “tolerance”
The sponsor of the parade is the Hibernians, a Catholic group. Their policy is not to exclude homosexuals from marching. Rather, since they are Catholics, they don’t want to promote a behavior that they view as wrong. The Supreme Court upheld this as a First Amendment issue. Unfortunately, activists treat their sexuality not as a behavior but as something that’s part of their essence (a concept which has no basis in science). There’s an irony to all this, since DeBlasio’s wife used to be a lesbian.
