A city in Florida has said it was forced to cancel its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade due to anti-diversity laws.
The city of Delray Beach has also cancelled its Pride event in 2027 due to a state law signed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis that prohibits local governments from promoting or funding diversity initiatives.
The city said in a statement that restrictions under the law “include certain programming and activities designed or implemented with reference to ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”
Good point! We shouldn’t pay homage to a fringe group from some little island just to drink green beer.
Or, you know, we could just bring dye packets to the bar EVERY time we’re feeling a wee bit Irish 🤷🏻
Based on every thumbnail I’ve seen from this story, this is a good thing. Good god if it was any other ethnicity this would be a hate crime
Well that didn’t quite go as planned, did it DickSantas?
