November 18 is LGBTQ+ STEM Day, a date picked to honor "the 60th anniversary of American Astronomer and gay activist Frank Kameny's US Supreme Court fight against workplace discrimination." Pride in STEM, a group of "LGBT+ scientists and engineers from around the world," who "aim to showcase and support all LGBT+ people in STEM fields," is one of many groups promoting this event. Under the group's LGBTQ+ STEM Day tab, readers will find a map pinpointing celebratory events worldwide. The rest of the site has resources to uplift LGBTQ+ scientists every day of the year. For example, the Resources page includes relevant educational resources, new articles, and reports, and the Events page tracks programs of interest. On the Out Thinkers page, readers will find a virtual STEM showcase sharing "research and experiences as LGBT+ individuals in academia and industry." For additional resources, readers may want to explore the Other Organisations page (which links to groups with aligned missions).
