Update re: NYC Mayor at St Pats for All
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/york-city-mayor-marches-gay-pre-st-patricks-29312086-snip-
Mayor Bill de Blasio told hundreds of participants at a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-friendly St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday that a society for all is one that embraces and respects everyone.
The St. Pat's for All parade stepped off in Queens under a heavy snowfall. It was held as an alternative to the city's centuries-old St. Patrick's Day Parade in Manhattan, which for years has excluded gay groups and this year is scheduled for March 17.
De Blasio arrived about 15 minutes late sporting a lavender shirt and green tie. Despite the snow and cold he said, "It's a sunny day in my world."
