Greetings!
 
Each June, we acknowledge the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees through the celebration of Pride Month.  The observance of Lesbian and Gay Pride Month in June offers each of us a chance to reaffirm our commitment to promoting tolerance, understanding, and communication in our communities and in the workplace.
 
We hope you'll join us!  Take a look at some of the government-wide events below.
 
Also - if you have events going on at Post abroad, please let us know back here so I can add them to our calendar.
