WASHINGTON — Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is denouncing vandals who defaced many of the gay pride posters installed at the agency’s Washington headquarters.
Solis, the first secretary in the department’s history to publicly recognize Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month, sent an agency-wide e-mail Friday saying she would not tolerate anti-gay misconduct.
“It appears, however, that some members of the Labor Department team have a different view, as it has come to my attention that most of the posters have been continually defaced or removed,” Solis said.
Solis said the posters will stay up until the end of the month and would be replaced immediately if they are removed or destroyed.
