A city in Florida has said it was forced to cancel its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade due to anti-diversity laws.
The city of Delray Beach has also cancelled its Pride event in 2027 due to a state law signed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis that prohibits local governments from promoting or funding diversity initiatives.
The city said in a statement that restrictions under the law “include certain programming and activities designed or implemented with reference to ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”
Its slightly more complicated than that. For instance when British troops first arrived in Northern Ireland they were welcomed by the Irish-leaning community and given food and tea wherever they went. This made the militant activists on both sides very angry and one thing led to another.
