NASA employee speaks out on ‘Pride Month’

via: onenewsnow

A NASA employee is voicing concern over a recent email and memo from her supervisors.

The controversial memo was sent out by NASA officials to employees and encouraged them to celebrate “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month,” in accordance with a presidential proclamation. NASA officials not only encouraged employees to celebrate the pro-homosexual observance, but also encouraged them to participate in pride events in their communities. If there was no such event in their community, employees were encouraged to start one. (See related story)

However, one employee — who asked to remain anonymous — was offended by the memo because she does not believe it is NASA’s place to encourage employees to celebrate a lifestyle she and others do not agree with. She also stated that it was ironic that NASA would encourage participation in this event, but around Christmas time does not send out any emails or memos encouraging employees to celebrate that holiday or any other religious events.

The NASA employee did tell OneNewsNow that another employee is voicing concern to upper management via email. “I don’t know how much of it will make it past the center level and actually get up to the acting director,” she says.

The employee adds that even if it did, she doubts it would make much of a difference.
