Mayor Bill de Blasio attended a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-friendly St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday, and told participants that a society for all is one that embraces and respects everyone.
The St. Pat's for All parade stepped off in Queens under a heavy snowfall. It was held as an alternative to the city's centuries-old St. Patrick's Day Parade in Manhattan, which for years has excluded gay groups and this year is scheduled for March 17.
De Blasio, a Democrat, refused to march in last year's Manhattan parade because it wasn't fully inclusive, and Guinness beer dropped its sponsorship. Organizers said last year, though, that they would welcome one gay contingent under its own banner this year.
On Sunday, de Blasio said he is 'not ready to commit to marching' in this year's Manhattan event.

Look I'm sure their are allot of gay irish..but that's not what saint pattis day is about...swallow your gay pride and leave it alone respect others and just maybe you will get it...we already know the LIBTARDED NYC MAYOR HAS a mental disorder
Saint Patrick was gay? I never heard that. Maybe the Gaybots just need their own little holiday that racially, religiously, and by creed excludes all others, which is in direct violation of my Civil Rights.
St Patrick is a Catholic saint, and has his own holiday.
Get used to it.
