The San Antonio-Austin Republican claimed events recognizing LGBTQ+ service members were 'divisive' and 'frankly embarrassing.' ChipRoy Austin SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX TexasRepublicans LGBTQ pridemonth2023 homophobia
The Air Force's"ridiculous use of taxpayer dollars" that's got Roy's panties in a wad?
A May 3 memo cited by Fox News shows that Air Force allows base commanders to plan"appropriate" activities to celebrate Pride Month at their installations. Roy's office reportedly provided Fox with a flyer showing that Robins Air Force Base in Georgia will hold a"Pride Game Night," a Unity in Diversity Color Run and a panel discussion on LGBTQ+ history.
"During this time, we celebrate the progress we have made towards inclusivity, commemorate the contributions of LGBTQ+ Americans, and recognize the obstacles they have faced and overcome along the way," Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Alex Wagner and Diversity and Inclusion Director Marianne P. Malizia wrote in memo shared by Fox.
Far from"divisive" and "embarrassing," the Air Force's plans seem to be in step with that of most other groups who want to attract and retain qualified personnel.
