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.”
If that had happened in Chicago Or Boston there would be a riot big enough to impress the French.
You underestimate New York’s love for a good drinking holiday. We even have two St Paddy’s Day parades; one in Staten Island and one in Manhattan, each on different days so we can celebrate longer.
Omg, you just made me want to move across the country.
Staten Island is effectively small town NYC. The biggest question there is “what high school did you go to” followed by “Oh, so then do you know…” Because you probably do. However, it is also still one of the biggest cities in the world with everything that entails.
That’s legit as fuck, honestly.

Further proof that Gaelic is just a prank on the English.
We steeped our tea in saltwater, holy hell I could not imagine them trying that in Boston
