Secretary of the Army, The Honorable Eric Fanning, greets and speaks with members of the audience during the Department of Defense LGBT Pride Month Event Celebration held on the Pentagon Courtyard, June 8th, 2016. The event is an opportunity for the entire DoD community to come together and celebrate the great diversity of the American people in a festive, affirming atmosphere. President Barack Obama signed a proclamation, May 31, 2016, designating June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. On Sept. 20, 2011, the "don’t ask, don’t tell" repeal went into full implementation, allowing lesbian, gay and bisexual service members to serve openly in the U.S armed forces.  (DoD photo)
