“Pride Month is an occasion for all of us at the Agency to pay tribute to the rich history, community, and mission contributions of our LGBTQ+ officers,” the CIA tweeted, adding a bunch of phrases to spell out WELCOME and an image of Langley HQ in rainbow colours with ‘PRIDE’ and ‘CIA’ arranged on top of it.
CIA's 2023 theme for #Pride Month is WELCO-ME!
Wellness
Equity
LGBTQ+
Community
Openness
ME!

The tweet is so weird that many thought it was a parody.
Is this a parody?

Others noted how dystopian and creepy this is all getting:
Re-branding US foreign policy and the US intelligence agencies, including the CIA, as a crusade for LGBTQ2AI+ rights is a truly genius feat of marketing.
It's one of the reasons - not the only - that US liberals now regards the CIA and US foreign policy as so benevolent.?????? https://t.co/XahmRTXGDn

In fairness to the CIA, "Pride" is a massive psyop. https://t.co/ARAffnPlzM

The CIA is a woke spa, not a spy agency to protect America from foreign infiltration. https://t.co/Au8HITw9dj

This month, we are proud of not only the gay agents that helped us coup and murder heads of states, but also the gay agents that helped us foment dissent and make the coups seem like organic discontent among the populous in societies with regimes we dislike. <3 slay https://t.co/dUHAt8Gfd8

The CIA doesn’t have a “rich history” of celebrating Pride, quite the opposite.

It’s not weird at all that every government agency, and even the military as well is hammering this relentlessly, right?

We firmly believe that we have not made progress unless we all make progress.
To our LGBTQI+ family and friends, communities and advocates, we see you and we stand with you. ???? pic.twitter.com/zLYHBxpc8I
