Founded in 1994, DOJ Pride serves as the Department of Justice’s recognized organization for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBTQ+) employees and allies. DOJ Pride works with agency leadership to identify and address key issues and areas affecting the DOJ’s LGBTQ+ employees. We offer regular social events and brown-bag lectures featuring leaders and experts in fields affecting the LGBTQ+ community. We also serve as a resource for current and prospective employees. Each June, we work with the Justice Management Division to plan and present the Department’s official Pride Month observance. Finally, we recognize and celebrate LGBTQ+ accomplishments and leaders both inside and outside the Department in our own annual Pride Month Celebration and Award Ceremony.
