Irish Queers protest St Paddys Parade in NYC

An organization called Irish Queers protested the St Patrick’s Day Parade – which bans gay groups – yesterday in New York City. Despite the illegality of anti-gay discrimination, the NYPD, FDNY and public officials like Mayor Bloomberg participate in the parade. Irish Queers is pursuing a civil rights lawsuit.

The protest was covered by Europe’s Pink News and was mentioned in WNYC’s parade coverage.
