LGBTQ+ group allowed to march in Bronx St. Patrick’s Day parade for 1st time
The Throggs Neck St. Patrick’s Day Parade within the Bronx included an LGBTQ+ group for the primary time this yr.
The Lavender and Inexperienced Alliance, which was based in 1994 was created to provide queer Irish folks a spot to have fun their heritage inside the LGBTQ neighborhood.
The alliance was just lately denied permission to march within the Staten Island parade, which refused to permit any LGBTQ teams to take part.
On Saturday members of the alliance stated they’re glad to have fun their immigrant historical past and heritage.
The parade kicked off round midday from East Tremont Avenue and Lafayette Avenue.
