Pissing off everybody, one group at a time.
Ashcroft continues to persue his dream of an America where only white straight folks are allowed to show pride:
Homosexual rights groups in the United States have criticised a decision by Attorney General John Ashcroft to ban his department's annual gay pride events. Several hundred employees at the Department of Justice (DoJ) were expected to take part in the festivities on 18 June - but they have now been told they may not do so because President George W Bush has not officially given his sanction.
A spokesman for the gay rights organisation Human Rights Campaign, David Smith, said the decision sent a clear signal that homosexuals were not welcome at the DoJ.
"It's shameful that the federal agency that is in charge of protecting civil rights in this country is singling out one group for disparate treatment," he said.

Now, Blah3, please don't become infected by Knucklehead's War Against the English Language: it's "pursue," not "persue."
