GAY TRUTH

The 255th annual parade meant to celebrate   the Feast of St. Patrick   in New York City is instead being touted as a victory for the homosexual movement. "I never thought I'd see the day when I could march up Fifth Avenue in the St. Patrick's Day Parade with my husband," said Brendan Fay, chairman of the   Lavender and Green Alliance , the second homosexual activist group allowed to march in the NYC Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. "When we started in 1991, after getting arrested so many times for protesting the parade, wow, what a moment this is." The Lavender and Green group follows   OUT@NBCUniversal , a pro-homosexual group for NBC employees that was allowed to march in the 2015 parade after decades of pressure from homosexual activists demanding to be allowed to march with an identifying banner, and organizers disposing of the parade’s long-standing policy to maintain focus on Irish heritage. “We Won!” was the headline of the   Irish Queers

Brian Mahoney, the commander of the veteran’s council, told the AP the

NEW YORK, February 6, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – New York City's new mayor is continuing his public fight against pro-life and pro-family organizations, this time becoming the city's first mayor in 20 years to boycott the annual St. Patrick's Day parade because organizers will not allow pro-homosexual signs. On the heels of his support for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 's belief that social conservatives have “no place in the state of New York ,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters on Tuesday that he is “not planning on marching in the parade,” and that he has not marched “in the past in [his] capacity as an elected official.” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio De Blasio said his reasoning was “exclusion of some individuals in this city” by “organizers of the parade.” Parade organizers have said that while homosexuals may march in the parade, activist pro-homosexual groups may not display banners or other means of supporting homosexual relationships.
