A pro-homosexuality advocacy group has been denied permission to march in the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in South Boston, after two years of being allowed to participate.
OUTVETS, an organization of homosexual veterans of the U.S. military, marched in the parade in 2015 and 2016.
If it all goes according to plan on Wednesday, women will be teaming up in droves to celebrate the "day without women" by refusing to shop (except at women or minority-owned businesses) and by, above all, refusing to work.
The intent is to send a message, organizers say, to show solidarity in the name of a host of issues, ranging from raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and ensuring reproductive freedom with "full access and no coercion" to halting "racist and sexual assaults, and all forms of bigotry."
