Oy Vay, It's Pride Month!

My husband is an executive at a company that employs about 250 people. Recently the CEO has voiced concerns that the company be "more woke." To that end, he "took the pledge" and joined 2,000 other CEOs in an organization called "CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion." They are committed to   making people of color and alternative sexual orientations feel "included."

My husband is the only Jew on the staff. Nobody, including the aforementioned CEO with whom he speaks daily, has exhibited any concern about the lack of representation of Jews in the company. Jewish holidays are never mentioned and certainly not celebrated, whereas Good Friday merits a company-wide day off, Martin Luther King Day merits a company-wide day off, and there are two or more days off for Christmas, depending on what day of the week it falls. 

The company currently employs two gay people, possibly more who are undeclared. The CEO is extremely concerned that these two (or more) people should feel "included" and thus is fervently seeking ways to more fully celebrate Pride Month in the future, and what to do right now. He has sought my husband's advice on this matter. 

How does one correctly and adequately celebrate homosexuality within an organization devoted to farming and agriculture across the United States? And why?
