You keep saying this but it isn't true. It's a public event. A non-profit is the organizer, I would bet. Not the church and not a private group, it is a public event with a public organizer, even though it may not be a government organizer, per se.
You really think that $4000 pays for 20 cops and the street closures? Really? Not even close. It's nice that they paid a nominal fee, but that parade still happened on the public's dime.
Why? Because you want it? How about you change the Church? Or just wait for one more Pope.. if Saint Malachy is correct.. Rome will be burning.
Nope. It's not the right place to be "heard". It's not a political march now is it.. There are plenty of other marches for them to be heard. Hell, they have a whole month to be heard too. It's called June.
I have, patience must not be a virtue of yours.
I don't have to change the Church. I left the Church for a variety of reasons. If you remain a member of the Church, or really any organization, you either accept its tenets or you work to change them. If you aren't working to change them, you have accepted them.
It's a march down a public street. So long as order is maintained, nobody should be allowed to decide what it is except for those who are participating.
Shame on both. This country is living in mortal fear of speaking it's mind. Threats of boycotts by corporations is Stalinist bull****. Say one wrong thing on the air and corporations fearing boycotts by XYZ group turn around and threaten boycotts of the person or program or network. Freedom of thought itself is in peril. This is no less than punishment for opinions.
Hell I haven't been to sleep yet. I have a horrible case of insomnia and no mmj to assist with sleep the past few days. I think I'm on about hour 64.
It does for 2 hours.
So let me know what happens when you storm a motorcade for a funeral.
It's open to the public to see. Every group that runs a St. Paddy's Day parade is a private group. To be a member of AoH requires to be Irish or of Irish ancestry and they collect dues. No different then an Eagles Club, Moose club or Elks club.
They pay for the services of the Government. Basically they are renting Government services. When Government services are rented they are defined as a private event. Like a motorcade for a funeral.
Here is another example of St. Paddy's parade being paid for privately, all of it.
Yeah 30 years ago with a Repub in NY. Go figure. Now Try looking at Chicago.....and that Political Activism with parades in a City Controlled by the Democratic Party for damn near over 70 years.
Now who put more BS into that game so to speak?
As you can see from Sam Adams own words. The LGBT community activists are the ones that refused to negotiate.
What part of "both sides" did you fail to understand?
What really gets me is that, with respect to Boston, this isn't just a group of random gay folks who want to march for the sake of marching. If they were I'd still be fine with it, but this is a group of gay veterans who want to identify themselves as gay while marching in a parade organized by a veteran's group.
What part about them being told they could participate as long as they don't use any signage.....didnt come thru with the messaging? My point with it.....is the LGBT community doesn't come before any other groups. I am sure the activists for the gun issue and against would want to get in. Same with those for and against immigration and abortion. If none of them are in and there isn't any politicization. All were good with it.
So if it is good for all the Golden Gooses. Then to all for the Rainbow Ganders. Case should be closed and the LGBT community should get over it.....and figure it out not everything has to be politicized.

Whatever. Just don't pin this on one side using Sam Adam's words when Sam Adam's word didn't pin it on either side.
Sam Adams first went with all could participate as long as there was no signage.....that was their stance. Then they pulled out after negotiations broke down. Bottomline.....who was bringing the issue. That's the side that gets it pinned upon. To me that's looking like the LGBT Activists. Not Sam Adams and others. So let them take the weight and let the Cameras bring the point home.....Repeatedly!
Don't pin this on one side using Sam Adam's words when Sam Adam's word didn't pin it on either side.
I'm not.....I am using Sams Adams own words. Only way negotiations breakdown.....was due to the LGBT Activists not accepting the terms. Their fault.....theirs to take the blame since the fame was what they were looking for.
You can't use Sam Adams own words to blame either side because Sam Adams didn't blame either side.
Sure I can.....as if they agreed the participating sponsor would still be in the Parade.
This is absolutely insane to me. A parade for St. Patrick's Day, and people are upset that they can't march with banners proclaiming there sexual preferences??? Then why is it a St. Patrick's Day parade at all, shouldn't just be a generic parade if there will be stuff like that?
Gay veterans were told they couldn't identify themselves as gay while marching in a parade organized by a veteran's group.
"If they'd just given in" isn't a valid argument for blaming the breakdown of negotiations on one side when neither side has been named by the people you quoted as naming one side.
