NEW YORK — Organizers have chosen a second gay group to march in New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day parade next year.
The parade’s board of directors announced Tuesday that it has selected the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender group called The Lavender & Green Alliance.
The group joins Out@NBC, which this year became the first gay group to march in the parade’s history. The organization has been invited to participate again next year.
