Quoting:
Homosexual employees of the US Department of Justice have been forbidden to
hold an annual "Gay Pride" event at the department's headquarters, a gay DoJ
employee said Friday.
Attorney General John Ashcroft "will not allow us to hold our annual pride
ceremony in the building," said Melissa Schraibman, who works in Justice
Department's tax division.
...
In 2002 Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, the most important DoJ
official after Ashcroft, was at the event. Thompson's presence however
resulted in sharp criticism from influential conservative groups.
...
Schraibman said that other groups of DoJ employees – including those
belonging to ethnic or special interest groups – continue to use the
Department building as a meeting place.
Thank goodness the Bush administration is even-handed, fair and inclusive. I'd hate to see what they would try to get away with if they weren't. I mean it, I'd really hate that.
