Aw come on little puddy cat ... one more face ... just one more face ... here kitty kitty ... here's a nice little face for ya

I thought pussies enjoyed having faces all up in them?

That lady is burnt into my understanding of conservatives

By weight, humans are 2% think, 98% food.

Ooo, that’s a good one

I live in a very Italian American part of the country, many of whom are very anti-DEI. But, then I tell them that Columbus Day is just DEI for Italians. I take to much joy from watching the gears turn in their heads as they work it out. Italians Americans where basically the Mexicans of there time, every major immigrant group in America other than WASPS where, to many people forget that.

Ten bucks says they still agree with the law and just think that it shouldn't apply to this

Lets be real this person was racist, homophobic and transphobic and wanted Florida to do a genocide of all black, gay and trans people and culture in the state.

“No no no, you misheard, this is for Saint Patdick’s Day! He’s the patron saint of the fabulous!”

Honestly I think the best workaround/loophole would be to hold a "Rocky Horror Picture Show fan convention, with parade" and that would circumvent the law in exactly the desired way.

I’m grateful. Finally people will understand my shanty ways are a cultural expression.

Classified as another ethnicity and you can't have ethnicity based events because those are DEI.

We just got sooooo close to flipping blue. If Chuck Schumer hadn’t been such a tightwad with that campaign cash, it probably would’ve pushed both Nixon and Jolly over the line.

Still, though, we broke the Republican super majority in the state house, and managed to hold onto all of the gerrymandered districts despite the Trump administration‘s efforts. And one way or another, Ron DeSantis is out forever come January. That’ll be a brighter day for everyone in the Sunshine State, no matter how you look at it.

Does this apply to religious groups too? Is it goodbye to Christmas parades also?

You really think the people that voted for this will learn their lesson? While I wish they would, I'm not expecting it.

The people in this article are going to blame, if I had to be 100% real here, trans people for this. They will not self reflect at all.

It shouldn't be too difficult to have it overruled in court because it's pretty clear violation of the first amendment. Of course that would also mean that all the other groups get their parades back too, so let's see if Florida actually pulls through for once

It may be malicious compliance, but the law is harsh enough it's probably not worth risking it even if you like the law and st Patrick's day. Citizens being able to personally sue government officials is meant to be a distributed and painful means of ensuring compliance even if nearly everyone in an area thinks the law is stupid or shouldn't be applied in this case. It just takes one resident, that's why they've been using it in red states with blue cities.

Nah, just the ones that focus on specific ethnicities, orientations, etc.

Florida MAGAs hate everyone and everything. Exercising your Hate is the entire point of being MAGA.

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

It's common for celebrations like these to be treated as community events, like state fairs or national holidays. I think it's fine for public money to be used to support community events which help set a character for the area as a whole which is a public good. Also, it means you don't need to plaster sponsorships everywhere, or charge super high booth fees so small community and family businesses can afford to set up a tent and be seen.
