Gay pride posters defaced at Labor Dep't., Solis calls out employees

By GottaLaff

Wait, no. Just no. Thank you Labor Secretary Hilda Solis for speaking out, but why did this even happen?

Late last week, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis issued a warning letter to department employees after office posters celebrating Gay Pride Month were defaced or removed. [...]

“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. 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. But I do want to make myself absolutely clear: Respect for others is non-negotiable at the U.S. Department of Labor.“

Solis added the Gay Pride posters will be immediately replaced if they are damaged or removed.

I hope whoever did this is caught, fired, and publicly humiliated.
