Show Your Pride with Out & Allied
PRIDE 2023!
NASA's Johnson Space Center recognizes diversity and inclusion as essential strengths. In June, Johnson celebrates the LGBTQI+ workforce as a shining example of what can be achieved when each individual is celebrated for their uniqueness.
At NASA, a common purpose unites us: pioneering the future of space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research. The spirit of Pride intersects with NASA's passion and dedication that fuels the unlimited possibilities of exploring the unknown, breaking down barriers, and inspiring a future of hope.
LGBTQI+ Pride Month is held annually during the month of June to promote the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people as a social group.
Here’s how you can take part to uplift the LGBTQI+ community and show your solidarity and support.

All Johnson team members are invited to participate in fun activities. Anyone who shows up to events will receive a Pride pin button.
