Parade

Several Mummers Parade participants mocked Caitlyn Jenner, were accused of harassing gays and painted their faces brown to portray Mexicans.

According to his daughter, 85-year-old John Hurley “just slipped away.”

The parade’s board of directors announced Tuesday that it has selected the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender group called The Lavender & Green Alliance.

Luigi Brugnaro described the event as both “farcical” and “kitsch.”

Organizers of the Days of ’47 Parade in Salt Lake City and the Freedom Festival Grand Parade in Provo have again denied the bid by Mormons Building Bridges to take part.

Why does it matter whether or not gays are allowed to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade? Don’t they have enough parades of their own?

Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade made history Sunday as two gay and lesbian groups marched after decades of opposition that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This is the first year that parade organizers have allowed groups representing the gay community to participate in the parade, which draws as many as a million spectators to South Boston.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s support for same-sex marriage was listed among the reasons the church would no longer take part in the event.

Bill de Blasio says he’s not planning to march in the nation’s biggest and oldest St. Patrick’s Day parade unless its organizers change their limitations on displays of gay pride.
