#1 What is the parade about? SAINT Patrick, you say? And he was ...? Right, Roman Catholic. And being called a Saint means...? And you know about the Catholic official stance that homos3xuals are OK, but homosexual acts are inherently "disordered", and gays/l3sbians should be celibate within their homos3xuals attractions, the same as it requires of heteros3xuals to refrain from s3x except for those whom have entered into the Holy Sacrament of matrimony? Ok. And what is the Roman Catholic position on gay "marriage"? ... Ok Billy, seeing the trend here as to why gay marriage groups are excluded from the parade managed and sponsored by a Catholic group?

Does it have to be spelled out any clearer?

#4 I was there, it was either 91 or 92, when they did allow some gays to be in the parade. They were vulgar and very insensitive, throwing condoms and mocking nuns. Not saying all gays would do this but after that display gays were excluded.

#7 Exclusion of gay participants from the St. Paddy's Day parade is something I can get behind.

#11 Brilliant move. He has nothing to lose, makes a big huff, if they cave he looks like a hero to the gays. If they don't he doesn't have to sit thorugh a dull parade.
