Posted by JayZeeBMT on Mon Mar 8 18:08:24 2010, in response to Re: St. Pat's For All Parade, posted by LuchAAA on Mon Mar 8 17:59:05 2010. 1. St. Pat's For All is a "legit parade". It's recognized as such by the City Of New York, the issuer of permits.2. How am I being a "radical troublemaker" by marching in a parade (with City Council Speaker Quinn, no less) organized by others, on a public street in my own borough? 3. "My ilk"? Quinn isn't "pandering" to me, and neither are the two other gay Councilmembers who joined us. On the contrary, they are among the parade's biggest supporters, as is Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, who wants this parade to stay in Queens. 4. NY1 decides on its own what events in NYC are newsworthy. No one forces them (or any of the other news media) to cover the parade. 5. The use of St. Patrick's ("St.Pat's") name in the Parade--For All--is perfectly correct. It's an inclusive celenbration of Irish heritage and New York City's patron. |
