The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

This year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Staten Island is opposing participation of the LGBTQ community. The application form states, in all caps, that “THIS PARADE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR AND WILL NOT ALLOW POLITICAL OR SEXUAL IDENTIFICATION AGENDAS TO BE PROMOTED.” The application form also states that groups that “do not stand, in any way, in opposition to, or contradict, the Teachings and Tenets of the Catholic Church” are the only ones allowed to join the parade. St. Patrick’s Day is the feast day corresponding with the death anniversary of St. Patrick, a Catholic missionary and bishop who became recognized as the patron saint of Ireland. This day is celebrated with religious services and feasts in Ireland. However, Irish immigrants in America turned it “into a largely secular holiday of revelry and celebration of things Irish.” Every year, the LGBTQ community & its supporters struggle for approval in participating in the parade in Staten Island. A similar ban was lifted from Manhattan St. Patrick’s Day Parade, but Staten Island remained obstinate. The outright discrimination has caused politicians, such as New York City mayor Eric Adams, to boycott the parade.
