Deb Haaland raises the LGBTQIA+ flag over federal property on May 31, 2024.

A few weeks after the National Park Service had told workers in Denali National Park not to drive through the park with American flags on their trucks, because it offended someone, Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland on Friday raised the “pride flag” over a federal memorial site in Washington, D.C. She used government employees to assist her.

“This Pride Month and every month, the @Interior team works to build a country that represents and welcomes each of us. I’m honored to celebrate our vibrant LGBTQI+ community worldwide and their countless contributions to our shared, equitable future. Happy Pride Month, everyone!” Haaland wrote on X.
