My name is Castor like Castor and Pollux. St. Pat's for All Parade recently celebrated it's 20th anniversary on Sunday March 9th. The St. Pat's for All Parade started in March 5th, 2000, it was first held between Sunnyside to Woodside. The Slogan of the Parade is "Cherishing All the Children of the Nation Equally" origination from the Eastern Proclamation of the Irish Republic, 1916. LGBTQ+ rights activist Brendan Fay founded the Parade in 2000 as a alternative celebration from the Manhattan, Bronx, and Brooklyn St. Patrick's Day Parade. The Manhattan, Bronx, and Brooklyn St. Patrick's Day Parade had prohibited any Irish LGBTQ+ from partaking in the parade in previous years which lead to many arrests. Ellen Duncan and Kathleen Walsh was the Co-Chair of the event.
