This was surprising to see.
In a move applauded by many conservatives, the FBI is ending its official involvement in Pride Month celebrations—marking a clear departure from the progressive tone pushed during the Biden administration.
No Pride Events on Bureau Time, Says Leadership
FBI leadership sent a directive to agents and officials on Thursday, instructing them not to participate in Pride Month events in any official capacity. The email, obtained by Fox News Digital, came directly from Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson.
“There should be no official FBI actions, events, or messaging regarding Pride Month,” Williamson wrote.
Employees are still free to take part in their personal time, but they are strictly prohibited from using FBI time, resources, or affiliation to promote or engage in Pride-related activities.
FBI Refocuses on Core Mission: Law and Order
“This does not lessen our commitment to protecting every American,” Williamson added. “But it does mean we are making sure the American people see that we are focused on our core mission.”
This shift underscores a growing effort to de-politicize federal law enforcement and bring the FBI back in line with its original purpose: enforcing the law without engaging in social or political agendas.
Biden-Era DEI and ‘Woke’ Messaging Rolled Back
During the Biden administration, the FBI was widely criticized for promoting divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Federal agencies took part in Pride events, flew rainbow flags at government buildings, and issued public statements celebrating identity-based observances. In 2021, the FBI’s official social media posted, “Today, the #FBI raised the #Pride flag at our headquarters in support of our #LGBTQ colleagues.”
Critics say such actions reflect a broader woke agenda that undermines public confidence in law enforcement and distracts from national security priorities.
Trump Administration Restores Traditional Values in Federal Agencies
Under President Trump’s renewed leadership, the federal government is making a clean break from DEI initiatives, returning instead to merit-based principles, equal treatment under the law, and a strong emphasis on agency accountability.
“Let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI,” said newly appointed Director Kash Patel in his first official statement after taking office.
His message echoes what many Americans have long called for: an FBI that prioritizes justice, public safety, and constitutional integrity—not political activism.
A Win for Common Sense and American Values
As June approaches, the FBI’s decision not to take part in Pride Month events sends a powerful message: law enforcement should serve all Americans equally, without engaging in divisive identity politics.
For millions of Americans—especially those who value faith, family, and freedom—this move is a welcome return to common sense and accountability in government.
The FBI’s shift is just one example of how the Trump administration is restoring trust, ending government overreach, and bringing back real leadership in Washington.
So glad America’s FBI is under new leadership! How horrible things were when we had to live through the lies of James Comey!…and James Comey is sitll throwing out more ugliness with his “86” cruelty. Could he possibly think he would acquire more followers with his viciousness! What a jerk he is! He needs to go hide somewhere!!!
