   Keep your bedroom business to yourself, whore.  We don't need to   
   hear about it.   
      
   Miss Staten Island Madison L’Insalata was barred from marching   
   in a St. Patrick’s Day parade held in her borough on Sunday, a   
   day after she came out as bisexual to local media and announced   
   her plans to don rainbow colors during the event, The New York   
   Post reports.   
      
   According to the newspaper, the 23-year-old was expected to   
   march in the parade on Sunday but was barred by organizers   
   behind the event shortly after she revealed that she was   
   bisexual to the newspaper on Saturday.   
      
   After she came out about her sexual orientation to the paper and   
   disclosed that she would be wearing a rainbow colors at the   
   event, Jim Smith, the executive director of Miss Staten Island   
   Scholarship pageants, told The Post that he received a call from   
   a parade organizer that said L’Insalata would not be able to   
   march in the parade, citing “safety reasons.”   
      
   Smith told the paper that the organizer, Larry Cummings, also   
   barred another pageant queen that came out in support of   
   L’Insalata.   
      
   “None of them can march,” Smith said, adding: “He was not to be   
   bargained with – you can’t talk to him.”   
      
   According to The Post, the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Staten   
   Island has gotten heat in the past for not allowing the Pride   
   Center of Staten Island to participate in the parade with its   
   own banner.   
      
   When discussing the parade’s reasoning behind the decision in an   
   interview with the Staten Island Advance last month, Cummings   
   said “it’s a non-sexual identification parade and that’s that.”   
      
   “No, they are not marching. Don’t try to keep asking a million   
   friggin’ questions, OK?” he added.   
      
   In an interview with The Post on Sunday, L’Insalata said the   
   reported move to bar her from marching in the parade was   
   “definitely a curveball.”   
      
   “I was really looking forward to being there and having a   
   discussion, and now there won’t be. It’s sad this had to happen.   
   I thought I was doing something good. You want to be part of the   
   change,” she continued.   
      
   According to the State Island Advance, a local councilman said   
   he was also barred from participating in the parade over a   
   clothing pin he wore depicting the pride flag.   
      
   "They [the parade marshals] physically blocked me, my wife and   
   two boys in strollers," Councilman Joseph Borelli (R) told the   
   outlet.   
      
   “They called the police on me. I spoke to a sergeant and was not   
   going to make the life of our cops more complicated to prove a   
   point. ...I didn’t come with it looking for an argument; my   
   friends handed a pin to me," he continued. "I really didn’t   
   think it was a big affront to the Irish."
