Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has been urged to come out in support of American gay and lesbian rights groups when he visits Boston as part of his St Patricks Day tour on Sunday.
MassEquality, the Boston advocacy group for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual people has urged to make a public statement supporting their right to march in the Boston parade.
The Irish Times reports on their call for the PMs support for their bid to march openly with gay pride banners and colors in the citys St Patricks Day parade.
The group told the paper that comments by Kenny supporting their campaign to end the long-time exclusion of LGBT groups from marching in the South Boston parade with gay pride signs and banners would help their campaign.
