In June 2024, McGhee signed and celebrated the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month Proclamation at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. McGhee said in response to LGBTQI month—”our Airmen think differently, our nation thinks differently and we have evolved, and thank goodness we have.”
A Fireside Chat with the Minot Commanders on October 30, 2023, McGhee said: “Diversity is extremely important to us up here.”
In February 2023, McGhee told the media that “Being able to take a month out of the year and teach African American history is very valuable. My goal is that we are able to re-educate people across [sic] on some of the things they have forgotten over time. . . “
In June 2022, McGhee highlighted “A team that full capitalizes on the strength of our diversity.”
