PROTEST THIS MORNING, 10:30am

Irish Queers will be joined by (hooray!) a whole big bunch of other LGBTQ groups and allies, including police accountability groups.

We're protesting on the WEST side of Fifth Ave, between 56th and 57th Streets. Oh, trust us, you'll see us!

We'll have cupcakes and the fabulousness the Rude Mechanical Orchestra to make it fun.

It's not always fun. But this year -- super fun. In case you don't spend all your time following the developments: Heineken and Guinness dropped out as sponsors of the parade. That is veryvery big happenings! After years of things Not. Budging. At. All. things are budging.

Join us there! If you can't find us, or if you have trouble getting through the barricades to reach us, call (718) 909-3956 and we'll figure it out.
