'Throughout the month of June, let's rededicate ourselves to equity, dignity and respect for all, and celebrate the diversity of the DOD workforce,' said Johnson. The Air Force has gone from a service where Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Trans-sexual (LGBT) members were discharged if their sexuality was brought to the surface to being able to serve openly and to marry anyone they choose, regardless of sex.ĭuring Pride Month, we celebrate those in the LGBT community who continue to transform the lasting ideals of dignity and worth, according to Clarence Johnson, Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity. One part of the continuing change to embrace diversity was the repeal of the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell law in September 2011. Air Force is consistently changing to become more diverse.
