It's always a sad day in this country when a patriotic group, celebrating a pivotal moment in American history, is denied a parade permit while foreign groups, fringe groups and pro drug groups receive permission and expedience in their approval.
The latest such ridiculous hatred of America and pride for our country comes from the NYPD who recently denied an application by the Sons of the Revolution - descendants of those who fought the revolutionary war and fought so that New York isn't currently under a Union Jack - to hold a parade down Broadway to The Battery.
All the while groups like the Marijuana March, Gay pride parades groups celebrating Haiti, Turkish-American relations, and Philippine independence receive permission and actual participation by those in the government.
The Sons of the Revolution "Evacuation Day parade" - a celebration of the day England left the United States - only occurs once every 25 years.
Large cities really are causing the decline of our nation. They are being run by anti-American diversity "experts" who tell us what we should think and what we are allowed to celebrate as Americans...
... as long as it's nothing America related.

Mr. Gregory said that the Sons of the Revolution submitted an application for a parade permit about one year ago; they received a Parade Permit Application Disapproval Notice from the police department on May 21. A representative of the Patrol Borough Manhattan South rejected the application on the grounds that the "proposed activity and surrounding events will substantially or unreasonably interfere with traffic in the area contiguous to the parade route."
...
The police department suggested that a "stationary event in Battery Park" be held as an alternative to a parade down Broadway. "We're asking to hold the parade on a Saturday," Mr. Gregory said. "You can practically bowl down lower Broadway on a Saturday morning — there's nobody down there. How can traffic be a concern? To be told we should have a picnic in Battery Park is a bit of an insult."
...
the city hosts annual parades such as the Million Marijuana March, as well as parades honoring Haiti, Turkish-American relations, and Philippine independence. In the past year, the Hare Krishna parade marched down Fifth Avenue. The largest parade in New York City occurs every June, when Puerto Ricans converge in Manhattan for their annual parade.
... but damn you if you want to have an American parade!

As for homosexual marriage, a marriage is a contract and all Americans have a right to enter into a contract.
It is the politics of the homosexual agenda that concerns me. Once gay marriage is passed they will be after other socialist laws, such as employment and housing rentals; "you have to hire or rent to me, I am a homosexual and you are discriminating..."
The whole agenda is to force society to accept homosexuality as equal to normal heterosexuality; and if one objects, they are committing "hate speech."(?)
