History At Boston’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
Click here for reuse options!The advocacy group Boston Pride and OutVets, a group of gay military veterans, have been welcomed by the organizers.
“This is a tremendous leap forward,” Boston Pride organizer Sylvain Bruni said Friday.
Until now, gay rights groups have been barred by the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council from marching in the parade, which draws as many as a million spectators each year. Twenty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the organizers’ right to keep gays out.
