Staten Island's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade still remains unwelcoming to LGBTQ+ groups. They've been banned from participating for years. And they say 2022 is no different.
The Staten Island St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of our very best traditions, an event that my family and I have enjoyed throughout the years and will do so again this year. While I wish the parade organizers would reach a different decision, ultimately it is their decision, not the government's.
Now more than ever, as we finally are escaping the grip of COVID mandates, we need to come together with a renewed sense of community and celebrate. With this in mind, there is still some time before the event and I encourage the parties to continue to meet in an effort to reach a resolution that will allow all Staten Islanders to celebrate together.
