Contrada: LGBTQ Totalitarianism in Boston: The Destruction of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade
“In 1995, a remarkable 9-0 ruling was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court. A Catholic veterans’ group, organizers of the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston, were vindicated in their refusal to allow a homosexual activist group to march in their parade. The Court confirmed that the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council was protected by the First Amendment and could reject a group if it ‘impart[ed] a message that the [parade] organizers do not wish to convey.’ Twenty-three years later, orthodox Boston Irish Catholics will no longer have the prominent public voice on St. Patrick’s Day.

“Alinsky actually counseled radical leftists to look in the mirror and whatever you see, blame the other guy for doing or being that exact same thing. So, if you’re a crook, blame the other guy for being a crook. If you’re a corrupt politician, call your opponent a corrupt politician. If you’ve ruined the economy, blame your opponent for ruining the economy. And of course, if you’re in bed with Russia, blame the other guy for being in ‘collusion’ with Russia. It’s all playing out in front of our very eyes.”
