Description: Last year, Irish activist Brendan Fay led the first LGBT group permitted to march under a banner at the 255-year-old St. Patrick's Day parade in his adoptive home of New York City after a 25-year battle. This week, we bring you the chat he had with Róisín Ingle at the Transatlantic Connections Conference in Bundoran, Donegal recently. Brendan spoke about how it felt to march with pride in the 2016 parade in New York, what it was like to lose his job as a teacher at a Catholic high school for taking part in the 1991 parade, and what is to be done about Trump.
