That crystal charm you have hanging on your office window — the one that disperses sunlight to cast little rainbows across your wall — might have to go if it were found at NASA’s headquarters in Washington D.C. In fact, any rainbow paraphernalia brought to the building could get tossed alongside your dangly, sun-catching décor, and it’s due to the agency’s new push to purge its premises of anything that could represent LGBTQI+ Pride.
NASA employees at the space agency’s D.C. headquarters have reportedly been barred from displaying Pride symbols on their person or in their workspaces, according to a NASA Watch report. The news comes as a slew of Executive orders signed by U.S. President Donald Trump continues to force policy changes at NASA and other federal agencies, targeting diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives.
