Hizonner Does Good

New York Mayor Bill De Blasio jas just announced that will not march in the St. Patrick's day parade because of the organizers anti-gay policies:

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Tuesday said that he will not march in the city's annual St. Patrick's Day parade because organizers of the event will not allow participants to carry gay pride signs.

"No, I am not planning on marching in the parade," de Blasio said at a press conference. "I will be participating in a number of other events to honor the Irish heritage of this city, but I simply disagree with the organizers of that parade."

Fabulous!

Here's hoping that the blow-back changes the calculus used the bigots who run the parade to make their decisions.
