 History was made this year at the 114th annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. After decades, the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, the private organizer of the parade, decided to include two groups from the LGBT community, the Boston Pride and the Outweggs. To me, allowing them to bring in the gay pride shows that Boston is stepping up a lot. It shows that we're not secluding anyone from anything and I really appreciate Boston for doing it and seeing it made me very happy. I'm not gay myself but overall I appreciate many gay friends. I have a bunch of gay friends and I really appreciate that Boston let it in this year. A ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the organization's rights to ban LGBT groups in the year 1995. The Veterans Council changed leadership last year and in December voted in favor of inviting the Outweggs. Mayor Marty Walsh would refuse to walk in the 2014 parade because it wasn't inclusive of the gay communities joined in the celebrations today. And Representative Seth Moulton walked with the Outweggs, a group that supports gay veterans. Here in South Boston for BUNU Service, I'm Nikita Sampad.
