Va. Federal Reserve Bank Goes Gay

The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Va., will fly a rainbow flag during Gay Pride Month at the request of the bank's gay employees.

PRISM, the LGBT group at the Richmond bank, requested that the flag be flown throughout June.

Chief operating officer Sally Green said the bank was flying the pride flag to show its commitment to diversity.

"We strongly support a diverse and inclusive culture at the Richmond Fed and have learned that it is important to value and embrace differences, both seen and unseen," she said, according to Richmond.com.
