LGBTQ+ STEM Day: November 18, 2023

November 18 is the International Day of LGBTQIA+ People in STEM, a day which celebrates and highlights the work and barriers of LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This date marks the anniversary of American astronomer and gay activist Frank Kameny's (1925-2011) legal struggle against workplace discrimination. This is a fight that continues today, not only in the US but in countries around the world.
