CIA and ODNI Sponsor First Intelligence Community LGBT Summit
Central Intelligence Agency ^ | April 5, 2012 | none listed

Posted on 04/08/2012 6:14:16 AM PDT by aruanan

The CIA and the Office of the Director for National Intelligence (ODNI) recently hosted the first Intelligence Community (IC) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Summit. Participants included members of LGBT employee groups from nine IC agencies and CIA and ODNI leaders. The Summit was designed to ensure the Agency maintains a high performing, engaged, and diverse workforce.

CIA Associate Deputy Director (ADD) Sue Bromley welcomed participants to the February event, highlighting the importance of inclusion in mission success: “When I look at our mission and our challenges, what I look to is my single greatest resource at the CIA—our people,” she said. “In order to get the most out of our people, we have to make sure there is an environment where everybody can thrive, where everybody feels secure and comfortable, so they can bring their unique contribution to our challenges,” ADD/CIA Bromley continued.

Participants agreed that a fully inclusive IC directly and positively affects the workforce’s contribution to mission. Discussions delved into collective IC experiences and best practices for making agencies welcoming to LGBT employees. Officers considered policy implementation, lessons learned, and ways to increase the understanding and visibility of transgender issues. Participants also shared ideas about leveraging LGBT supporters and assessing the mission impact of LGBT officers.

A panel discussion about LGBT inclusion and benefits included participants from the Department of State, the White House, Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies (GLIFAA), and the IC LGBT Affinity Network Group.

Whatever takes their minds off of the business they’re SUPPOSED to be doing....

I’m sure Hussein views it as importantly as diverting Hitler’s Panzers from the beaches of Normandy.

This, like the one I posted about Norgard the climate activist who wants skeptics medicated, is not a parody.

You can’t make this stuff up. I also like the State Department program to promote “gay rights” in countries around the world. Gives new meaning to “foreign relations”.

Our political elites have simply decided that homosexuality is normal if not beneficial. It is one thing to tolerate destructive behaviors (homosexuality is self destructive), but this goes way beyond tolerance. There is no room for dissent. If you don’t agree that sodomy is perfectly normal, if not admirable, then you will be ostracized or worse. How in the world did we go from respecting privacy in bedrooms to this is such a short time? It seems like the left holds all the reigns of power, and they are intent on taking us into a brave new (dysfunctional) world. Heaven help us!

It is impossible to ridicule this government with parody. Their real-life actions are far more extreme than any parody could be.

Parody simply can't compete.

They spiked the article! The link only goes “404” now!

If they’re so damned proud of this so-called “progress” they’re making with this BS, why hide it?

“...leveraging LGBT supporters”

Where are they supposed to keep the levers?

Next to the spy camera in a hollowed-out shoe?

More institutionalized insanity courtesy of the lunacy that is liberalism...

Well, the CIA is said to be full of communist moles, and that makes the connection:

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

Fine; Hold a meeting, identify everybody then fire them.

Last thing we need in any position of trust and responsibility is a pervert.

I hope they don't plan to send them to Islamist nations to collect critical intelligence.

The CIA probably already has you targeted. Just try https://www.cia.gov/ and look at the Featured Story right in the middle of the page.
