“I am leaving the DOJ in part due to the DOJ’s treatment of its LGBTQ employees,” one worker said.
The Justice Department has grown increasingly hostile toward its own LGBT workers, causing top talent to quit as they experience discrimination and “declining morale,” according to a group of LGBT employees who confronted Attorney General Bill Barr in a letter this week.
“I am leaving the DOJ in part due to the DOJ’s treatment of its LGBTQ employees,” one worker said in the October survey, while another complained, “The DOJ is no longer the welcoming, inclusive environment for LGBTQ employees that it once was.” Justice Department officials did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the letter’s allegations.
