As part of an inclusive workplace, NASA employees sharing their personal stories and talking about how it gets better.
Brain Pickings says:
Thirty years after Ride boarded the Challenger, NASA joins the It Gets Better ranks with a heartening testament to the diversity of the LBGTQ community, with space agency staffers ranging from interns to managers, engineers to astronauts, and even NASA’s Chief of Staff.
This awesome video is a part of NASA sending its support for the worldwide LGBTQ community and to create a more inclusive, supportive workplace:
The NASA JSC It Gets Better video is a video project created by the “Out & Allied @ JSC Employee Resource Group” of NASA’s Johnson Space Center. It was created as an outreach tool primarily directed at high school and college-aged lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals who are victims of bullying and/or have been affected by bullying. This video sends the message to current and future NASA employees that it is OK to be LGBTQ, and that NASA JSC management supports and encourages an inclusive, diverse workforce in our workplace.
(Emphasis mine.)
How awesome is that!? Some of these stories brought me to tears. Bravo, NASA.
