Pride revelers will likely see less — if any — National Park rangers marching in uniform at LGBTQ Pride events across the country this year. The National Park Service is effectively prohibiting uniformed employees from marching in public events that “could be construed as agency support for a particular issue, position, or political party,” according to internal memos and documents shared with NBC News. This effective ban would extend to Pride marches, according to those documents.
Though Lands did not mention Pride events specifically, an internal follow-up Q&A document, shared with NBC News by the anonymous employee and confirmed by another who is involved with NPS’ LGBTQ employee resource group, said out-of-park Pride events are included in the prohibition.
