The South Boston, Massachusetts St. Patrick’s Day Parade tried banning Gay people again last week, voting 9-4 to bar a group of military veterans called OutVets for displaying a rainbox flag as part of their logo – which has been allowed for the past two years. This time the governor refused to march, the mayor said he’d skip it, and all of a sudden the sponsors voted 9-0 to allow OutVets back in. Defending their country wasn’t good enough apparently for the old men of South Boston. Above: marching in 2015. (Dominic Reuter/Reuters)
