Government agencies are competing throughout the month of June to post the most ridiculous and stomach-turning tributes to Pride month.
The competition includes federal and local agencies.
WLTReport highlighted the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office’s nauseating post where police officers and first responders saluted the Pride flag.

Let’s not forget about the U.S. Air Force’s salute to Pride month.
“June is #PrideMonth! The Department of the Air Force proudly recognizes and celebrates generations of LGBTQI+ service members and their contributions to our #AirForce & #SpaceForce,” the U.S. Air Force wrote.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) entered the competition with a tribute of its own.
The agency’s theme for the month is “WELCO-ME.”
It apparently stands for:
Wellness
Equity
LGBTQ+
Community
Openness
ME!
“Pride Month is an occasion for all of us at the Agency to pay tribute to the rich history, community, and mission contributions of our LGBTQ+ officers,” the tweet read.

Elon Musk took a shot at the CIA’s tribute.
“I thought the CIA liked being the closet lol,” Musk wrote.

The competition doesn’t end with the U.S. Air Force and CIA.
The Department of Homeland Security joined with their tribute.
“Recognizing the lived experiences of our LGBTQ+ #DHSWorkforce is part of DHS’s commitment to inclusion and representation,” the agency wrote.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra shared his Pride month tribute saying, “We firmly believe that we have not made progress unless we all make progress. To our LGBTQI+ family and friends, communities and advocates, we see you and we stand with you.”

We can’t forget about the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
They wasted no time and posted their tribute on June 1st.
“The #FBI celebrates the positive impacts our #LGBTQ+ teammates have made on the Bureau and across the nation during #PrideMonth and every day. Thank you for your service to our communities, your dedication to the mission, and the perspectives you bring to the table,” the agency wrote.
