Suffolk Superior court judge Hiller Zobel set the same restrictions As last year when after weeks of controversy the Irish american Gay. Lesbian and bisexual Pride group of Boston was allowed to March in the Parade. Chester Darling lawyer for the South Boston Allied War veterans Council the March s sponsor said he would Appeal Zoberi s ruling. The veterans Council had argued that letting Gays participate would violate the spirit of the 92-year-old Parade through the Irish neighbourhood of Boston known As Southie. Darling said the veterans group s permit precluded any state control Over the event s contents or participants. In his ruling Zobel disputed organizers claims that the Gay organization would disrupt the Parade which is expected to draw Between 500,000 and 700,000 spectators. The judge noted that Gays marched last year in a peaceable  last year spectators hurled Beer cans at the Gay marchers and shouted obscenities. Under the judge s restrictions no More than 25 of the group s members can March and All must Wear a badge or Emblem identifying them As members of the group. Zobel prohibited them from carrying signs other than one cloth Banner. New York s Parade has been caught up in a similar dispute since 1991, when the Irish Gay and lesbian organization was barred by the traditional sponsor of the Parade. The dispute was settled that year when the Gays marched with an Irish organization that already had been invited. They were banned altogether the next year and a counter Parade was held. A Federal judge in Manhattan is expected to hear arguments sometime this week before deciding who can sponsor the Parade and who can March this year
