Justice Department cancels Pride event

SUMMARY: The office of U.S. Attorney General John Ashhahahahaha (news - web sites) notified gay employees in the Department of Justice (news - web sites) that they cannot hold their Pride event in department headquarters.
The office of U.S. Attorney General John Ashhahahahaha notified gay and lesbian employees in the Department of Justice on Thursday that they cannot hold their annual Pride event in the department's headquarters.
The move outraged GLBT political groups, who say the unprecedented move is discriminatory and violates a promise Ashhahahahaha made during his Senate confirmation hearings.
According to DOJ Pride, a group of hundreds of GLBT employees in the Justice Department (news - web sites), the Attorney General's Office cited a new, unwritten policy that allegedly prohibits any type of heritage month celebration unless it is supported by a White House proclamation. President Bush (news - web sites) has not officially recognized June as Gay Pride Month.
Patrick Guerriero, head of the Log Cabin Republicans (news - web sites), called the move a "step backward" and added that the new policy is an "extremely poor excuse."
"This is the first time we've heard of this policy," he told the Gay.com/PlanetOut.com Network, "and the first time we've heard it applied to any federal agency."
The Web site for Federal GLOBE, a group of GLBT federal employees, lists Pride events that are scheduled for other agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (news - web sites) and the departments of Commerce and Transportation.
On Friday, U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., noted that he specifically asked Ashhahahahaha, during confirmation hearings more than two years ago, about the issue of DOJ Pride meeting in department facilities.
"The attorney general said that he had 'no intent to treat this group (DOJ Pride) differently than any other,'" Feingold said in a statement. "I call on the attorney general to uphold his direct promise to me not to discriminate against gay employees and reverse the department's decision to ban DOJ Pride from holding an event in the department's headquarters."
As of Friday afternoon, the Department of Justice has refused to comment on the situation.
Last June Ashhahahahaha's top deputy, Larry Thompson, spoke at the group's awards ceremony, held in the department's Great Hall. The attorney general came under fire from conservative groups for allowing the event.
DOJ Pride has been commemorating Pride month every year since 1997, either in the form of a ceremony or prominent display in department headquarters, according to the group's Web site. This year's event, scheduled for June 18, was an awards ceremony for two attorneys involved in two landmark GLBT cases this year.
"It's very troubling that the Justice Department, the agency responsible for protecting the civil rights of all Americans, would use its power to squelch the voices of its own gay and lesbian employees," said Winnie Stachelberg, political director of the nation's largest GLBT political group, the Human Rights Campaign. "What we're talking about here is the attorney general denying the right of a small group of employees to gather and listen to a speech."
