500 Queer Scientists is a visibility campaign for LGBTQ+ people working in the sciences.[1] Queer scientists submit short descriptions of their lives to the organization; these are manually checked and proof-read before being posted to the group's website.[2] In collating submissions, the organization intends to show queer people currently working in science that there are others like them, to provide role models for future generations of researchers, and to create a database that can be used when planning events to ensure representation.[3]

History

LGBTQ+ had not revealed that they were to their colleagues.[1] The campaign was inspired by the group 500 Women Scientists;[7] the two groups are separate, but consider themselves to be "informally partnered".[1] At launch, the site contained 50 scientists' stories; within a week this had reached 250, and by 26 June there were 550. The first stories were all written in English.[7]

In June 2019, they held an event with publisher

LGBTSTEM Day.[10][11]
