Reply to comment by spoil_of_the_cities in Community Board implores NYC Mayor Adams to defund exclusionary Staten Island St. Patrick’s Parade by I_AM_TARA

No. I have it as it is in the article posted.

When private organizations want public services like NYPD officers working security at their event, private organizations hire them and pay for them via the NYPD Paid Detail Program. Here, the city is picking up that expense for this private organization to hold their event.

If the city has a policy of picking up that expense for parades, it can't pick and choose based on religion

They're Catholic. The pope is their infallible leader. He's doesn't exclude gays from attending catholic events.

So their choice to exclude gay people isn't about their religion. They're going against their own religion in order to be bigots.
