Why Gay-less Gaelic festivities make sense!


Newly elected city council speaker Christine Quinn has her shamrock-pattern panties all up in bunch. The openly Irish-American and gay speaker will not participate in the St. Patrick's Day Parade to protest the organizers' policy against gays and lesbians marching. Well you know what, Christine? They didn't want you marching anyway. Duh. Besides, in an interview in the Irish Times, John T. Dunleavy made argument against gay marching nobody can deny: "If an Israeli group wants to march in New York, do you allow neo-Nazis into their parade? If African-Americans are marching in Harlem, do they have to let the Ku Klux Klan into their parade?" In all fairness, he does have a point. Long before the Nazi'’s eliminated 6 million Jews, and the KKK terrorized thousands of blacks in Jim Crow South, the gays starved one million Irish to death, during the great potato famine,
stealing their only crop, in a sinister plot to make the world'’s most fabulous rosemary-infused potato shallot souffle ever. Never O'gain!
