Federal Bureau of Investigation Out in Office Reply ... No Pride Celebrations at Workplace!!!https://www.tmz.com/2025/05/30/fbi-tells-agents-not-promote-pride-month-agency-time/
The FBI's telling its employees to leave their Pride at the door ... instructing agents and others in the agency not to celebrate or otherwise promote Pride events at work, according to a new report.
A rep for the Federal Bureau of Investigations sent an email, obtained by Fox News Digital (FND), to all employees to clarify the agency's position on the LGBTQ+ community's biggest month -- after the transition from the Biden to the Trump administrations.
FND says FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson wrote, "I want to take the opportunity to make FBI leaderships expectations clear: There should be no official FBI actions, events, or messaging regarding Pride Month." June is officially recognized in the U.S. as LGBTQ Pride Month.
President Trump nominated Kash Patel as his director of the FBI, but Thursday's email came from Williamson, who reportedly wrote that employees can do whatever they want in a personal capacity on their own time ... but, they shouldn't be using Bureau resources to promote their events.

Good God in butter do they want to go back to 1950s? These people need persons they can
go after as the others. Be it immigrants, democrats, LGBT folk, Harvard University and other
educated people, unions, and scientists they are all targets in the MAFA make America Fascist
Again movement.
Btw as a straight guy I solved my gay problem years ago and that is I dont have sex with men
although I do have some LGBT friends and they are fun to be with.
