Good on ya Peg!
Unfortunatly homophobic insults appear to be protected by law in NYC, in spite of the anti gay bias laws, as seen by the rediculous spectacle of the Saint Patricks Day parade in Manhattan, which is why, our band, Sorcha Dorcha, made up of non-homophobic heterosexual musicians, (I presume, I never asked, unlike the the dont ask dont tell Army policy, it just never came up...)is more than proud, we are outright chuffed to be asked to play at the Woodside All inclusive St. Patricks Day Parade banquet and we will march as a band in the parade on March 5.
Saint Marks Place, if it had a number, would be 8th Street, and we are between 3rd and 2nd ave.
ALl the best
