Thanks to NY Mayor Dinkins The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee denied an Irish lesbian/gay group permission to march in the March 16 event, the nation's largest parade. New York City Mayor David Dinkins responded to this action by saying that if the gays could not march, then neither would he. When another Irish parade contingent invited the gays to join them, Mayor Dinkins chose to march with the gays instead of leading the parade as is customary for New York mayors. The follow- ing letters were sent to Mayor Dinkins com- mending him on his show of support for the gay groups marching in the parade.-Editor Dear Mayor Dinkins: __ A society is judged not on how it treats its powerful, but on how it treats its vulnerable. Your action on Saturday [March 16]-joining the gayllesbian contingent in your St. Patrick's Day Parade-epitomized principled leadership over the potttlcs of expediency. Thank you. Eugene Harrington Houston, TX

Dear Mayor Dinkins: The greatest long-term challenge for homosexuals is to raise our critically low self-esteem. The positive impact of your decision to walk with the harassed group of lesbians and gay men in your recent St. Patrick's Day Parade could not have been matched even with millions of dollars in network television promotion. Your example will inspire thousands of closeted gays to also step out, and, like you, they will be able to smile when they look in the mirror the morning after.
