NYC mayor opts for LGBT pre-St. Patrick's parade in Queens
http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/770fb89417da477e86a548ef101dd2fd/NY--St-Pats-for-All"NEW YORK — Mayor Bill de Blasio was headed Sunday to the LGBT-friendly alternative to New York City's main St. Patrick's Day Parade that for years has excluded official gay groups.
The Democrat last year refused to march in the Fifth Avenue parade because it still wasn't fully inclusive — although organizers said last year that they would welcome just one gay contingent under its own banner this year."
