#LGBTSTEMDay 2020 Will Be On November 18

It gives us great pleasure to announce that the next international day of LGBTQ+ people in STEM will happen on Wednesday, November 18, 2020.

The change of date comes after the result of an open survey and months of discussion. The date is symbolic of the 60th anniversary of American Astronomer and gay activist Frank Kameny’s US Supreme Court fight against workplace discrimination, a fight that continues today not only in the US, but in so many other countries worldwide.

We hope that November 18 could come to represent all the people who today continue to make the world of STEM a better and more inclusive place!
