STEM IS SO GAY. And for Just $1, You Can Help Keep It That Way.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics have always driven innovation, transformed lives, and reshaped the future. But real progress only happens when every voice is included. The LGBTQ+ community has always been part of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs and we’re not going anywhere.
But right now, we’re under attack.
From rollbacks on DEI initiatives, to increasing hostility toward queer communities and major sponsors backing away from Pride, LGBTQ+ folks in STEAM need more than visibility -we need your support.
This Pride Month, LGBT Tech’s PATHS program is launching a month-long campaign to raise $20,000 to support queer students in STEAM. Every dollar you give will go toward:
Mentorship
Career development workshops
Education grants
Creating space where LGBTQ+ voices are prioritized
We know the barriers are real. Lack of representation, systemic discrimination, and financial obstacles continue to push queer students out of STEAM. But we’re here to push back, because STEAM has always been gay, and we plan to fight to keep it that way
From George Washington Carver and Alan Turing to Alan L. Hart and Sally Ride, queer pioneers have shaped our world in ways we’re still discovering. Their legacy is ours to continue. LGBTQ+ people belong in labs, on launchpads, behind screens, and in every boardroom where decisions are made.
Here's Where You Come In:
For just $1, you can help fund the future of LGBTQ+ students in STEAM. That’s one dollar toward a world where queer folks don’t just survive, we THRIVE.
Join us. Make it Rainbows. Fund the Future. One dollar at a time.
