There are growing efforts to tackle the underrepresentation of LGBTQ+ people within STEM, and the discrimination that they may face within STEM careers.

Community and visibility form the basis of the approach to inclusivity for many networks and organisations, creating spaces that allow LGBTQ+ STEM professionals or students to come together and share their experiences, celebrating and platforming LGBTQ+ scientists working across a huge variety of different fields, and drawing attention to the issues and barriers faced by LGBTQ+ people pursuing STEM careers.
