Catholic League: Intolerant Homosexuals Are Crashing St. Patrick’s Parades To Thrust Their Agenda On Others

Via press release from the Catholic League:

Homosexuals not only have a Gay Pride Parade in New York City at the end of June each year, there are gay events throughout the entire month. But that isn’t enough.

Their relentless intolerance is stunning, which explains why gay activists—as opposed to ordinary gay people—are constantly thrusting their agenda onto others. Their goal of crashing St. Patrick’s Day parades is a classic example, the latest iteration being the one on Staten Island.

The traditional St. Patrick’s Day Parade will take place on Sunday, March 3rd. Marchers will step off from Hart Blvd. at 12:30 p.m. The day starts with a Mass at Blessed Sacrament, West Brighton, at 9:30 a.m. Larry Cummings is the courageous president of the parade committee.

This parade, like all celebratory parades, excludes those who refuse to honor the person or the event in whose name allies march. Also excluded are those who seek to draw attention to their own status or cause: to do so would divert attention from the person or the event being celebrated.

That is why pro-life Catholics have always been banned from marching in St. Patrick’s Day parades—under their own banner. Ditto for gays.

The elites in Staten Island have been trying for some time to get gay groups to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, under their own banner. They have failed.

Now they are showing their contempt for this Irish Catholic parade by sponsoring an alternative parade, one that features gay groups. They are holding their parade on March 17.

Who’s behind this attempt to compete with, and undercut, the traditional St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Staten Island? The elites who work in the media, business and government. They are the ones who couldn’t wait to invite The Pride Center of Staten Island to march in their parade.

The Catholic League encourages everyone to march in the traditional St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Staten Island on March 3rd. The Grand Marshal is Timothy O’Sullivan, from County Cork. He has been a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians since 1963, two years before he became a U.S. citizen.

Congratulations to all those brave Irish Catholics who refuse to give into the bigoted agenda of the ever-fawning elites.

Oh yes, there’s LOL more. Bill is sitting on a $30 million endowment which the Catholic League will surely use to feed and clothe the needy.
