I had apparently missed this story. The Chairman of the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade, in denying the petition for a gay Irish-American group to march in the parade, compared homosexuals to Neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and Prostitutes. Niiiiice.

Wow. So homosexuals:Irish::Neo-Nazis:Jews? I'm pretty sure I've never seen anyone claim that before.

Nifty, huh? Great piece of logic, there.

Yeah, the NYC St. Pat's parade has always been really against ILGO marching. Heck, Southie doesn't allow ILGO, either.

So I guess "Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day" except those effing queers.

...and yet the parade in Dublin has had a queer contingent for years now.
