US EditionFBI Instructs Employees to Refrain from Promoting Pride Month During Work Hours to Focus on Core Mission
- The FBI announced on June 25, 2021, that it will not hold official Pride Month events or activities this June to focus solely on its core mission.
- The decision, influenced by leadership installed during the Trump administration, seeks to restore public confidence by prioritizing the agency’s core responsibilities over participation in social events.
- The FBI's Public Affairs leadership clarified that while employees may observe Pride Month privately, they are prohibited from participating in related activities during work hours or utilizing bureau resources.
- Williamson emphasized that the policy does not diminish the FBI’s dedication to safeguarding all individuals in the country, while reinforcing the bureau’s emphasis on its primary responsibilities.
- The change has sparked reactions and conversations about social causes in the workplace and represents a broader effort to refocus the FBI, potentially disappointing some advocates of public LGBTQ+ recognition.
