Staten Island’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade Head Turns To Shoving To Keep Out Any Mention Of Homosexuals

It didn’t even take Staten Island’s St. Patrick’s Day pride organizer Dennis McKeon on Sunday bullying an attendee — St. Jermaine Endeley, for wearing a lapel pin in support of Staten Island Pride, a gay group that was permitted to march so long as they didn’t include a banner (which appears to be a lie) — to get the city’s chief lesbian to revolt. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says she won’t march in the parade again, nor will Comptroller John Liu, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, Manhattan Borough President Stringer, who all held a pre-parade presser to announce their decision. I don’t want to be the one to say it, but: the things that have to happen for Staten Island to get one iota of attention.
