NYC’s St. Patrick’s Parade Will Feature Gay Groups, but Not Pro-Life Ones

NEW YORK — When the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at 11:30am Thursday, two homosexual groups will be among the hundreds of organizations marching under their own banners.

No pro-life organizations, however, will be marching in the annual parade down Fifth Avenue.

“You have a gay group in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade allowed to march, but the pro-life people are banned? The whole thing is perverse,” said William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.

Donohue told the Register that he does not regret his decision to pull the Catholic League from the parade last year after he said the parade organizers lied to him about allowing a pro-life group to march. Instead, the parade committee this year welcomed a second homosexual group, the Lavender and Green Alliance, whose leader, Brendan Fay, has been a vocal critic of the Church’s moral teachings.

We know what Saint Patrick would think of this parade in his “honor”.

[kevslisababy]

A lot of souls will end up in hell and wonder why the crowd never changes.

And oddly, the queers, Muslims and the left all hate Christians with an equal passion.

Remember, they hated Him first.

With the racial makeup of the US changing so rapidly-yeah isn’t it great!- I’m surprised there are enough people who even know what a shamrock is.

The last “Anglos” around will be Irish; outside of Mormons I don’t see anyone else having children as regularly as us. Not the big families of decades past, but still a presence...

The racial make-up of the NYC metro area makes it surprising that they even have the parade anymore; eventually they’ll be shipping in pipe bands from upstate NY, Pennsylvania and south Jersey (where the Irish fled).

I’m surprised Chicago still has a St. Patrick’s Day parade. That city is about as Irish as Baghdad is right now.

[kearnyirish2]

Do they have to import pipe bands yet?

FRegards!

[Revelation 911]

A lot of souls will end up in hell and wonder why the crowd never changes.

a lot of souls will hit the floor of hell with such force as the only remnant will be a greasy spot on the cracked skulls of wayward priests which pave the floor

I hope you don't mind that I changed it slightly

Surprised St Pat’s Day hasn’t been labeled as a white racist holiday. Oh but just wait..

Go where the traditional Catholics are: SSPX, Institute of Christ the King, Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.

While the Irish still lead the pack, there are some serious Polish, German and Italian families with large broods (8+ children). The status symbol at these churches is the 15 passenger van.

They own it now.
