UPDATE: Explanation of NYC Position

Just some clarification for everyone...

This is what most people think of on St. Patrick's Day:

He's cute, he's happy and above all EXTREMELY GAY!

This is (apparently) what New Yorkers think of on St. Patrick's Day:

He's ugly, he's scary and boy does he hate the gays!

St. Patrick's Day Not for Gays

New York City = Gay Mecca...right? I mean, really...where (except maybe San Francisco and the townhouse the PoliBois habitate on Capitol Hill) is gayer than NYC? Not exactly the place you would expect to find discrimination, but lo and behold, NYC hates the gays too!

For the 16th "straight year" (gotta love the WaPo's play on words!) the gays are banned from marching in the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade. Kudos to Christine Quinn, openly gay City Council Speaker who will be boycotting today's parade (and really... why not just get drunk at home like the rest of us?)

NYC hates the gays
