I’m disappointed that this year, I will be unable to participate in the parade. As mayor of the city of Boston, I have to do my best to ensure that all Bostonians are free to participate fully in the civic life of our city. Unfortunately, this year, the parties were not able to come to an understanding that would have made that possible.
Boston Mayor Martin Walsh in a statement released Sunday morning announcing that he will not be attending the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade because of organizers’ ban on the participation of LGBTQ groups.
