"Haaland Upends NPS Uniform Ban For Pride Parades" [1]
"The Interior secretary issued a new directive late Friday that appeared to override the National Park Service’s recent declaration that uniformed employees could not march in Pride."
"Interior Secretary Deb Haaland issued a directive Friday that could pave the way for National Park Service employees to wear their uniforms in Pride marches celebrating the LGBTQ+ community next month.
In a message released by NPS in the evening, Haaland said she was directing leadership from Interior’s bureaus to review when employees can participate in “externally organized events.” She noted that it is a priority for her that the department participate in “Special Emphasis Months,” which include honoring LGBTQ+ people.
Haaland said the outside events could involve employees participating in marching units in parades and booths at parades, among other things."
