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 ...

Boston ’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade will allow a homosexual group to march in the 2015 event for the first time in the parade’s 100-plus year history. The parade’s organizers, the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, voted 5-4 on December 15 to allow the group OutVets to join the parade next March 15. The council had previously withstood the push to allow homosexual groups, even prevailing in a 1995 U.S. Supreme Court decision protecting its right to refuse groups promoting homosexuality. OutVets, which acts for veterans identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender , has been cleared to carry a blue sign with five white stars denoting the branches of the military and six vertical rainbow stripes. “We're marching as veterans who happen to be gay," said Bryan Bishop , OutVets founder, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and chief of staff in the Boston Veteran’s Services agency. Brian Mahoney, the commander of the veteran’s council, told the AP the...

NEW YORK , March 19, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The largest American Catholic civil rights organization is taking on the largest brewer of stout beer in the world. The Catholic League ’s Bill Donohue has called for a boycott of Guinness after the beer company pulled its sponsorship of New York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade because organizers barred homosexual activists from marching. Guinness is owned by British liquor giant Diageo . “The corporate officers at Guinness who think they can get away with this in-your-face gesture are sadly mistaken,” Donohue said. “There is a price to be paid for anti-Catholic bigotry, and that is exactly what is driving Guinness to act.” “No gay person has ever been barred from marching in any St. Patrick’s Day parade, any more than the parade bans pro-life Catholics or vegetarian Catholics; they simply cannot march under their own banner,” he explained. “The parade is quintessentially Catholic. … It is this Catholic element that angers...

BOSTON, MA , March 17, 2014  – The Catholicity of Monday’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities is causing some politicians and businesses to reconsider their celebration of the famed Irish saint. Today is one of the most important feast days for English-speaking Catholics worldwide. In North America, March 17 has tended to constitute for many a cheery pause in the soberer season of Lent. However, two cities that have had a long tradition of marking the day with parades are feeling pressure from the gay-lobby. New York has had a St. Patrick’s Day parade since 1762 and Boston since 1737. “Both cities have huge Irish populations—combined, I would guess more than in Ireland itself.  One could even argue that the modern State of Ireland owes its existence to the Irish in New York and Boston,” said Irish historian, Peter Murphy, in an interview with LifeSiteNews.  But three beer companies, as well as some politicians, seem to want to redefine that culture. On ...

Immaculate Heart of Mary 's iconic float in Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade Co-authored with Patrick Craine BOSTON, March 6, 2014 – The organizers of Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade have rescinded their controversial invitation to a homosexual advocacy group , saying they believe the group’s application was a “ploy” made under “false pretenses.” The news comes days after a Catholic school said it would withdraw its iconic float and school band from the March 16 celebration because of the decision. "In the footsteps of St. Patrick, [Immaculate Heart of Mary School] does not condone and will not appear to condone the homosexual lifestyle,” Brother Thomas Dalton, the school’s principal, said in a statement reported by the  Telegram . "This float has become the Icon of the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston appearing in all types of media whenever the parade is mentioned," said Dalton. "The familiar scene of St. Patrick joyful...

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. Catho...
