From EDGE Boston: St. Patrick’s Day: NOT a great day to be Irish if you’re LGBT

"Private organizations, they said (Supreme Court), are protected under the First Amendment - even those that take up a large city’s main street for a day, cause traffic congestion, leave large amounts of refuse, include every public figure and huge contingents of public workers, and entail huge cost overruns for local police departments."

According to this article in EDGE Boston, there are only 3 Irish/St. Patrick's Day Parades that welcome our community - San Francisco's St. Patrick's Day Parade, Key West's St. Patrick's Day Parade, and St. Pat's for All in Queens.
