The United States joins people around the world in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) Pride Month, and reaffirms its commitment to protecting and defending the human rights of all, including LGBTI persons.
In many parts of the world, LGBTI individuals and their supporters continue to face violence, arrest, harassment and intimidation for standing up for their human rights, participating in peaceful marches and rallies, expressing their views, and simply being who they are. LGBTI persons like all persons must be free to enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association, without fear of reprisal. As Americans, we place a high value on these rights and freedoms, which all persons deserve to enjoy fully and equally.
The United States stands firmly with you as you exercise your human rights and fundamental freedoms. We wish you a safe and happy Pride Month.

And Poland needs to tell them to F Off, as well.
Did he have to say anything??? Sometimes, Silence IS golden!
Next on deck will be bestiality, incest, and age of consent laws because “love is love” after all.
“Intersex” is what used to be known as hermaphrodite.
Funny. Got attacked by Freepers because I thought Pompeo was a pompous RINO libertarian-and I was right again.
Now I know why Trump shifted this clown from the CIA to State where he can homo up with the rest of the homo army at State..
I assume the I stands for interdimensional.
= = = = = = =
INTERROGATORY as in WTF?????????????? OVER
OR, as Gary Coleman may say
“Whatchoo takin about Willis”????
Can heterosexuals have pride days too?
Who is suggesting that anyone be put to death or attacked?
Because he is Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo addresses America's perspective on human rights issues around the world as diplomat.
In other parts of the world, gays are put to death, attacked, raped in prisons or their military, etc...
It’s not the sinner I am opposed to, it is the celebration of the sin. Yes, they should be free to live their life. But I reject their insistence that I must embrace it.
Trump was already using Mike Pompeo to lay the groundwork for the meeting with Kim Jong Un and elevated him to State to play the leading role in the event and other future moves involving complex diplomacy. Rex Tillerson was not operating on that level nor in agreement with Trump on things like the Iran Deal.
Oh, nooo...he left out the “Q”, the other “Q”, and the rest of the alphabet. How bigoted. [/s]
The Christian way is not to tolerate immorality. Jesus is a prime example calling the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites and the sons of the serpent. He beat people out of His temple. He was loving the first time around but there will be a day of judgement.
While I don’t celebrate their weirdness, I support their right to celebrate whatever they want without being thrown off tall buildings or being stoned to death. The statement was an excellent way to point out that the US is the most tolerant country on earth, unlike most Muslim places.
Proud about perversion?
Civilization is crumbling in large part due to tolerance of sexual deviancy. Not something to be proud about.
There are many countries that have been harassed by the clinton/obama State Department over the “gay”issue—including some in Latin America!
It would have been best if our new Secretary of State had just said NOTHING!!! NO ONE should recognize June as LGBT “pride”month!!!!
What next, a bestiality month, a pedophilia month, a coprophagia month (oh, I forgot that is included in the LBTLSMFT month)
