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."
