"John Dunleavy. . . , banned gay groups from marching [In New Yorks St. Patrick's Day Parade] and last year would not allow City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who's 100-percent Irish and 100-percent gay, to walk wearing so much as a pink pin. . . . Quinn will blow off the Ancient Order of Hibernians entirely this year by taking her dad, her partner Kim Catullo, and five council members (including Staten Island Irishman Mike McMahon) to a more inclusive parade in Dublin." Saints Patrick and Brigid Would Be Proud of You Again.
See, also, The case against St Patrick's Day- Green beer. Bigotry. Ridiculous outfits. It is time to change a holiday that is nothing more than a figment of nineteenth century romanticism.
To see a real St. Patrick’s Day celebration, go to Chris’s Pub.
