Again for the terminally not paying attention crowd, the group sponsoring the Labor Day parade did not exclude the Pride group. In light of that, your comment is inane. "They" didn't exclude a patently offensive group that routinely pickets veteran funerals screaming that God hates fags. "They" invited Shanendoah Pride to participate in their event. The mayor took unilateral, almost certainly illegal, action to force the private group to exclude the Pride group the private group had invited.
