There will be no formal LGBT entries in this year’s Little Saigon Tet Parade after an Orange County judge ruled that organizers were within their First Amendment rights to bar them from taking part.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Geoffrey T Glass would not grant an injunction requested by the Partnership of Viet Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Organizations, a coalition of Vietnamese American LGBT groups, to allow them to participate in the parade, stating that parade organizers were within their rights to decide which groups could march.
