More anti-gay news.
The NYT is reporting that posters celebrating LGBT Pride Month hanging in 35 department elevators since June 1 have been either defaced or ripped from walls — frames and all. And Labor Secretary Hilda Solis isn’t having it.
In an e-mail message sent to the entire department, Ms. Solis, who helped found the House of Representative’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Caucus when she was in Congress, said she was outraged by the behavior.
“It appears, however, that some members of the Labor Department team have a different view, as it has come to my attention that most of the posters have been continually defaced or removed,” Ms. Solis wrote. “On several occasions, even the poster frames have been torn completely off the elevator walls.”
“I do not believe these actions represent the majority of our employees, so I refuse to let this situation define us.
Or us. Big “thank you” to Secretary Solis.
