Keith’s note: Sources at NASA Headquarters report that pride symbols are no longer allowed. Employees cannot have pride flags, lapel pins, badge lanyard, TEAMS backgrounds, clothing, laptop stickers – or anything related to pride in their offices. This guidance is NOT being put in written form (like everything else has been) but is rather communicated verbally from the 9th floor to all management for them to inform/warn their staff. The penalty for violating this guidance can result in being put on administrative leave. This applies to all employees – not just LBGTQ+ but also LBGTQ+ allies.

I’m not gay. But this is BS.
