Frightening

When the bigots take over that’s the time to start worrying.

The Justice Department has grown increasingly hostile toward its own LGBT workers, causing top talent to quit as they experience discrimination and “declining morale,” according to a group of LGBT employees who confronted Attorney General Bill Barr in a letter this week.

The group DOJ Pride, which says it represents thousands of employees at the agency, cites its internal survey of LGBT workers who find it “demoralizing” that officials have failed to issue a statement guaranteeing protection from harassment at the Justice Department.

Other workers cited in the letter said the FBI academy discriminates against gays and Latinos and evaluates them more harshly, and that “many gay agents attending [the FBI academy] are dismissed because they are not ‘bro-y’ or masculine enough.”

This is scary! Very scary.

Can you imagine having to call the FBI or the DoJ and not even for a LGBTQ+ issue but rather for something else and you wonder if your complaint would be tossed aside or not investigated because you are trans or gay?

Or will they target you because they are biased against LGBTQ+ people?
