Irish Gayboys and Girls Not Welcome at St. Paddy's Day Parade

Come on! Really?

Who would have thought that Park Slope of all places wouldn't let our Irish Lambdas march in our little annual St. Paddy's Day Parade. Aren't we weren't we the lesbian capitol of the Northeast?

Apparently, the uncloseted were relegated to the sidelines waving on a seriously gay gathering of heteros from the stoop next to the pink brownstone on Garfield.

Big hair and wigs? Check. Dancing boys? Check. Men in skirts and high schoolers looking like they could be at a Michael Jackson concert? Check. Check.

From Lambda's letter to the parade organizers:

For over a decade, the members of Lavender and Green Alliance, as well as other LGBT groups, have been excluded from participating in the annual parade.  With each passing year, the exclusion becomes more and more of a blot on our borough and sullies its reputation as a haven of vibrant diversity.

Yup. That about says it. 

Here's a little photo album of those who DID get to participate, including:

Irish Girls Who Love Shirley Temple (I'm getting one of those hair pieces tomorrow):

Dudes in Skirts:

Sanitation Dudes in skirts:

Boy Scouts:

Band Geeks and Dominatrix Drill Sergeant:

I mean, really, what am I missing here?

I think BK's Irish Dykes, Three Dollar Bills, Tall Girls, Bi's, and Transgendered (not to mention the conservative looking assortment of lambdas cheering from the sidelines) will fit right in NEXT YEAR when you let 'em in.

Let 'em in. Let 'em in. Let 'em in. 

Okay, have at it.
