Abstract

Despite growing acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people (LGBT; subsequently LGBT+ to encompass a spectrum of genders and sexualities), discrimination and alienation remain. A recent report [1] has shown that many STEM workplaces and professional culture can exclude people who identify as LGBT+ (Fig. 1). Genome Biology spoke to Beth Montague-Hellen, Jeremy Yoder, and Ben Barres about their personal experiences.
