After long pushing for a more inclusive parade, today, we celebrate the decision by the Richmond County St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee to allow — for the first-time ever — LGBTQ+ groups to march with them at next year’s parade on Staten Island.

In America, every parade is a faggot pride parade.
They want to be further normalized, they want to be exposed to the children. They want to rule over us and have their pick of the young boys.
They will threaten you with “homophobia” defamation if you question anything they want to do to your parades or your kids.
LGBTQ groups will be allowed to march in Staten Island’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade for the first time ever this year, organizers announced Tuesday — ending a long-running controversy over the annual event’s anti-gay stance.
The announcement followed years of boycotts from local pols over LGBTQ groups being banned from marching in the borough’s annual Irish heritage parade.
“The Richmond County St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee wishes to announce that the Staten Island Pride Center has been invited to march, under their own banner, in the 2025 Saint Patrick’s Day Parade,” the committee wrote in a statement first shared with Staten Island Advance.
“The parade committee is entrusted with ensuring the focus of the parade remains upon Saint Patrick, the history, traditions, culture and faith of the Irish people,” the committee added. “In this endeavor, the leadership of The Pride Center has assured the parade committee that they are ready to provide support to the parade in fulfilling this obligation.”
The Richmond County St. Patrick’s Day Parade, a 60-year-old tradition in the borough, is believed to be the last in the world to have excluded LGBTQ community members from marching – including Miss Staten Island 2020 Madison L’Insalata, who was banned from the festivities after coming out as bisexual that year to The Post.

City Councilman Joseph Borelli (R-Staten Island) was also barred from marching in the parade that same year — because he was wearing a tiny pride pin.
Borelli, who showed up with his wife and their two sons, previously told The Post the parade marshals “called the police” on him.
It used to be so wholesome.
This is a vicious attack on the Irish, and someone must be held responsible.
It was an honor to join the St. Patrick’s Day Committee on Staten Island today to announce that the parade will allow everyone to stand with them in the celebration of Irish culture and heritage. I applaud their decision to include @pridecentersi and look forward to attending… pic.twitter.com/iSj4igQ0T5

People have asked me at various points why I write so much about events in New York, claiming that this international metropolis is somehow outside of the scope of normal American life. That is obviously a very stupid question. As we’ve seen for the last century, everything that happens in America happens first in New York, then everywhere else.
By studying what is going on in New York, you are looking at your future.
If you have a parade in your town that doesn’t have sickening child molesters marching in it, I’ve got bad news: this is no longer going to be a thing. Moving forward, every parade is going to be a faggot parade.
