Pentagon brass influenced by Trump admin refuse to honor LGBT ‘pride month’

For the first time since former President Barack Obama repealed the military’s “don’t ask don’t tell” policy during the early years of his presidency, Pentagon officials have chosen not to honor LGBT ‘Pride Month’ with a formal acknowledgment.

In years past, the Department of Defense distributed a memo marking LGBT Pride Month at the beginning of each June.

The Washington Post notes that the annual memo had “put LGBT Pride Month on par with other special observances and heritage months.”

The absence of such a memo, while not an official renunciation of the LGBT celebration, lessens its stature.

LGBT Pentagon employees were free to hold an event earlier this week, though no high-ranking officials participated.
