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

OK so here's the nuance: the gov't under secularism cannot refer to the dictates of the Pope. If the Pope is for allowing gay people in the parade but this particular Catholic is not, this internal dispute is none of the gov'ts business.

OK, so the Community Board should have a new meeting, and petition the city to pull Larry Cummings' parade permit because he's a huge douche, and that they all agree that he's a huge douche, for reasons completely unrelated to religion.

Then Adams can say "you're right, what a douche," and give the parade permit to some Irish American homosexuals who we all agree are cool for reasons completely unrelated to religion.

And then this dude sues and says "obviously this is actually because of my religious belief". I dunno who wins

I'm old enough to remember when Trump explicitly declared a "Muslim Ban", had that ruled unconstitutional, and then came back with a ban on persons from (list of a bunch of countries that by sheer coincidence are majority Muslim), and won.
