They say that on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is a little bit Irish. Unless, evidently, you’re gay. While most Americans celebrate the holiday by guzzling copious amounts of green beer, an as popular tradition is banning gay contingents from marching in your St. Paddy’s Day parade.

But like marriage being only between a man and a woman, that tradition too may be becoming a thing of the past. This year the major parades that insist being Irish and being gay are incompatible are finding their major corporate sponsors abandoning ship, and their favorite local politicians choosing to not march in a gayless parade. That leaves Ted Cruz as their only not-really-Irish political choice, and Ford as their only sponsor. Not that any self-respecting gay man would be caught dead riding in a Ford. Or riding Ted Cruz for that matter.

You’d think with the Irish’s history in this country, they’d be one of the groups more supporting of minority rights. But like cake bakers across the country, they’re confusing civil rights with religious freedoms. And like those who’ve come before them, they too have decided to come down on the wrong side of history. Which, ironically, is often the side of the country’s religious right. No problemo. They can erin go fuck themselves. While everyone else has a happy St. Patrick’s Day.
