The LGBT group announced today:
Boston Pride, which will commemorate its 45th anniversary as an organization celebrating the LGBT community in June, has been accepted by the South Boston Allied War Veteran’s Council to march in the 114th annual South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
The council had previously given the OK for a contingent from OUTVets after years of fighting to keep LGBT groups out.
But wait, there's more:
BREAKING: John "Wacko" Hurly tells me he has "retired" as head of The Allied War Veterans Council South Boston Saint Patricks Day Parade.

Via BosGuy, who adds:
My only regret is that our late, former Mayor Menino who was behind that initial challenge in 1995 did not live to see this and participate in the parade.
