    I’m still not sure I understand how a St Patrick’s Day parade would fall under anti-DEI laws. I’m so for the leopards eating people’s faces aspect of this, I’m just confused.

      From the article “The city’s announcement specifically identifies programming involving ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity.” And this falls under Irish identity. So since it’s based on celebrating an ethnicity it’s not allowed

        Wondered the same, but seems no.

        The restrictions take effect Jan. 1, 2027, and prohibit counties and municipalities from funding, promoting or taking official action related to DEI. The city’s announcement specifically identifies programming involving ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity.

    The lack of reflection when leopards eat your face… hope they either uphold this cancelation or bring it back along with other parades/celebrations like their pride parade

    Oh no, where did all the tourists go? Perhaps y’all should tell the state to pull that anti-DEI law?
