NAVFAC recognizes the month of June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month. We recognize and value the contributions of the NAVFAC civilian employees and Service members in the LGBTQI+ community who serve our country.
The 2023 theme for Pride Month is “Equality Without Exception”. Members of the LGBTQI+ community serve their country, fully contribute to the DoD mission, and deserve a welcoming environment which enables them to reach their full potential. NAVFAC will continue its efforts to embrace a work culture focused on enhancing operational effectiveness, expanding talent pools to meet future warfighting capabilities, and promoting the best qualified individuals regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
Every Service member and DoD civilian employee is entitled to dignity, respect, and equal opportunities for professional success. As a Department, we reaffirm our commitment to diversity and inclusion for every team member.
