The head of the St. Patrick's Day Parade ignited march madness yesterday when he likened letting gays participate to allowing neo-Nazis and the KKK to join other ethnic events.
"If an Israeli group wants to march in New York, do you allow neo-Nazis into their parade? If African-Americans are marching in Harlem, do they have to let the Ku Klux Klan into their parade?" the parade's chairman, John Dunleavy, was quoted as saying in an interview with The Irish Times.

(City Council Speaker Christine) Quinn said she attempted unsuccessfully to strike a compromise with parade organizers that would have allowed gay New Yorkers to march with the City Council in an identifiable but respectful way.
