Secret Service to Attend LGBTQ Event at Disney World Amid Scrutiny

The Secret Service is facing renewed criticism as it prepares to send agents to an LGBTQ-focused event at Florida’s Walt Disney World. This comes after a period of intense scrutiny over the agency’s handling of two assassination attempts against former President Trump, which many believe were avoidable. The Secret Service is expected to send agents to Disney World from October 7th to 10th for the Out and Equal Workplace Summit, an event that features breakout sessions, a gala, and various activities aimed at promoting LGBTQ diversity in the workplace. The summit’s website emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive workplaces and fostering a world where LGBTQ+ individuals are welcomed and have equal opportunities. “Individually and as a collective community, we can break down barriers, bring everyone along, and illuminate the way forward where workplaces—and the world—are rich in inclusion and belonging, and innovation and opportunity are unlocked, for LGBTQ+ people and for all,” the website states. The Secret Service’s decision to participate in this event comes amidst a heated debate about the agency’s effectiveness and its handling of threats against high-profile figures.
