"Ancient order of Hibernators" joke

You are all probably familiar with the lunacy that happens in New York City every spring when the gay group wants to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and the Ancient Order of Hibernians (or the Ancient Order of Hibernators, as we call them) won't let them in.
Having had some experience with elderly Irish relatives, my take on the situation is that it isn't that the group is "gay" that bugs them. Half of them don't even know what gay people are.
It's the fact that they can see that word "homosexual" has the word "sex" in it that bugs them.
