Why do we need LGBT leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics?

This February, PinkNews, Amazon and glamazon partnered up for the LGBT Leaders: STEM 2020 conference. The event addressed the under-representation of LGBT+ people in science, technology, engineering and mathematical roles, where guests took part in panel discussions and networking opportunities with LGBT leaders in their field from organisations like Amazon, Accenture, the Financial Times and LinkedIn. We want to challenge and change the fear that LGBT+ people experience all too often in the workplace. The evidence stacks up: More than a third of LGBT employees across all industries have felt the need to conceal their sexual orientation at work.
