In the past couple of months, glifaa took the opportunity to reflect on the needs of LGBT+ employees and family members in the Foreign Affairs Agencies, and around the world. Therefore, glifaa put together our top priorities to the new administration that will help protect our members and advance the needs of our community in the United States and beyond. We welcome you to take a read, and happy to answer questions receive comments through the glifaa board by sending an email to board@glifaa.org
In 2020, we worked hard in order to honor our founding members and tell the story of glifaa to the best of our ability. Since March 8, 1992, glifaa was a home for many LGBT+ employees in foreign affairs agencies. We partnered with the National Museum for American Diplomacy to tell the story of glifaa: Serving with Pride- The History of LGBT+ Pride in Foreign Affairs Agencies.
