I have googled a little and haven't found anything on why homos are always protesting St. Patrick's day.  Is it the Catholic connection?  Would homos want to allow a Catholic float in a homo pride parade?  That is assuming you could find enough Catholics that wanted to be in a homo parade.

Thanks for any info.

The NYC people wouldn't let them march in the St. Pat's parade.  Their feelings were hurt over that.

I dont know why,but the thread title made me laugh my ass off

Because they can only wear green in the parades, no rainbow?

My bet is that it has something to do with the Catholic/Christian connection to the holiday.

Because there is no such thing as an Irish fag.

Why do homos hate St. Patrick's Day?

Because homos are ghey

'Cause they have sand in their manginas.....wait.....uhhh....

New York City) Members of an Irish LGBT group stood on the sidelines of today's St. Patrick's Day Parade denouncing the chair of the parade committee for comparing gays to the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and prostitutes.

The Lesbian and Gay Organization was kept behind police barricades as the parade marched down Fifth Avenue this morning.

More than a decade ago a federal judge ruled that the Ancient Order of Hibernians, which organizes the parade, could bar the gay group on the grounds of religious freedom.  

In an interview with the Irish Times published on Friday Hibernian chair John Dunleavy said, "If an Israeli group wants to march in New York, do you allow Neo-Nazis into their parade? If African Americans are marching in Harlem, do they have to let the Ku Klux Klan into their parade?"

Dunleavy went on to tell the paper that "People have rights. If we let the ILGO in, is it the Irish Prostitute Association next?"

Asked about his comments at the beginning of today's parade, Dunleavy tried to avoid the issue.

"Today is St. Patrick's Day. We celebrate our faith and heritage. Everything else is secondary," he told reporters.

In a statement the Lesbian and Gay Organization denounced Dunleavy's remarks and politicians who took part in today's parade, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"Like queers in other NYC immigrant populations – Indian, Pakistani, Polish, Puerto Rican and others – Irish Queers have been forced to struggle for respect not only with our own community, but with the NYPD, courts and city officials who shore up the forces of anti-gay discrimination," the statement said.

"Many others  have stood with us for justice, boycotted the parade or simply stayed away. But although active support from politicians, non-Irish LGBT folk and Irish American groups may rise and subside, Irish Queers – who live each day with the specter of religious-inspired bigotry in our home spaces – continue to demand a respectful place in the important, symbolic St. Patrick’s Day parade."

Among those who refused to march today was City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a lesbian and the second highest ranking city official next to Bloomberg.

Asked about Dunleavy's comments to The Irish Times Quinn said ""I don't even think they dignify a response."

"I can't deny who I am on any given day," Quinn, who was arrested in 1999 for protesting at an exclusionary parade in the Bronx told the Associated Press.

Ok, where are the homos protesting Christmas and Easter?  Maybe they are using the "divide and conquer" method of destroying the culture?

posted by totalabuse Because there is no such thing as an Irish fag.

What about Henry Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzhenry?

They're offended because they aren't allowed to prance around in the parade dressed in assless chaps and leather thongs while whipping each other in front of all the families.

You know, the way the heterosexuals insist on putting floats in parades celebrating hetero sex.

Fitzhenry? what kind of Irish name is that?

The two guys' real names are
Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald.

And here I was thinking there was going to be a punchline!!!

I stand corrected.

You mean like Mardi Gras

Allow me to be the first to ask, "who cares?"

Their hate = their problem. Mine is cleaning green puke off the tips of me shoes and washing the sheets.

Now, everyone knows what's going on at Mardi Gras... and you probably won't be taking your kids to see the Zem Zem riders or the local VFW marching in those parades.  A Mardi Gras parade would be much more suitable for that type of 'exposure', regardless of orientation.

St. Patricks in NY is NOT the place.  Besides, it's too cold.

I actually forgot about St Paddy's till I saw this thread.now back to more important things..like refinishing my Rem Model 11 stock.

There you go. Merry day after to all!

No reason really. They're just being gay

You're buying the first round of Guinness, sir!

Same reason Aryan Nation hates the Gay Pride Festival?

I don't know really.  Maybe if they could march in the parade and not make it about being "gay for St. Paddy's" they'd be welcome, but no, it's always about sexual identity, as if there's a "pedophile's for St. Paddy's" or even a "heteros for St. Patrick" group anywhere to be seen.

Homosexulas are always attempting to Legitimize their lifestyle choice

Legitimate-conforming to recognized principals or accepted rules and standards

For the Majority of Americans Homosexuality will never be the standard

Why these gheys (ILGO) insists on forcing their way into St.Pat's Parade is beyond me

Your ghey and Irish  Who Cares ? Go march in some ghey parade in the Village

Quoted: The NYC people wouldn't let them march in the St. Pat's parade.

That's all it is.

There is no sausage, just corned beef hash and cabbage.

The gays tried to introduce their sexual identity into something about Irish identity.  When the Irish pointed out the parade was about Irishness, not gayness, the gays were offended.

Frankly, I see the thing the gays wanted at 4th of July parades in my town.  The ethnic communities fly their falgs of their home countries at a parade about the USA nation. I know the spiel about the USA being a welcoming home to everyone who buys into the program, STILL, dont wave foreign flags at an event dedicated and created to celebrate the nation. The celebration is not about YOU.

Just irks me

Militant gays are parasites. They feed off the attention, ANY attention, given to other more prominent and more popular groups just so they can get their twisted, mentally-disturbed message on the camera. "We're here, we're queer and we're IN YOUR FACE!!!!" is their mantra.

Nothing more than narcissistic media-whores every one of them.

Because the Irish still have the power to resist cultural decay.

Strange...for some reason, St Patrick's Day isn't all about vulger displays of sexuality.  They want you to keep your clothes on and celebrate the Green, not your sex life.

It's not about sex, so the gays just don't understand.

Quoted: The celebration is not about YOU.

There's a reason why the Gay Rights people are referred to as the Gay Mafia

I'm going to try to say this nicely: Even though I strongly disagree with your assumed sexual activities, you seem like one of the good guys.
