Irish American Gay,Lesbian,and Bisexual Group of Boston,515 U.S. 557 (1995),was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court regarding free speech rights,specifically the rights of groups to determine what message their activities convey to the public. The Court ruled that private organizations,even if they were planning on and had permits for a public demonstration,were permitted to exclude groups if those groups presented a message contrary to the one the organizing group wanted to convey. Addressing the specific issues of the case,the Court found that private citizens organizing a public demonstration may not be compelled by the state to include groups who impart a message the organizers do not want to be presented by their demonstration,even if the intent of the state was to prevent discrimination.
