Why does the City continue to grant permits to an organization that is bigotted? And couldn't the City council pass legislation to ban permits from organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.? To what extent would first amendment law come into play? And couldn't there be another Irish group that gets the permit for this parade?
