In an era marked by rapid societal change and growing recognition of the vital role that diversity plays in innovation and progress, AIP and its Member Societies are committed to fostering a culture that embraces diversity, advances equity, and promotes inclusion across the physical sciences.
In honor of Pride Month, we have gathered resources that support LGBTQ+ scientists and highlight contributions from the queer community to science and humanity.

For those of us in the LGBTQ+ community, Pride is at its roots a celebration of authenticity. And so at this time of year I am proud that AIP’s culture is one that not only celebrates and cultivates diversity in STEMM but also one that cultivates inclusion, so that all of us can be our authentic selves each day.

Allyship is important! During Pride month and beyond, we recognize and support the contributions of LGBTQ+ people throughout the physical sciences. We still have a long way to go to improve equity and representation, which is why the AIP Federation launched a DEIBA Strategic Plan to foster a culture of inclusion – so everyone feels welcome and can thrive.

DEIBA Strategic Plan 2024-2029
The AIP Federation launched a strategic plan to advance Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility (DEIBA) in the physical sciences community.
Throughout June, AIP will be highlighting archival resources that celebrate the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ people in STEMM. By elevating their experiences, we hope to inform, inspire meaningful change, and promote inclusion. Be sure to share the stories that move you and follow our social channels to join in on the conversation. #PrideMonth
As we envision and work toward a future where the physical sciences thrive through the contributions of individuals from all backgrounds, there are guiding voices and important stories to light the way.
Explore articles and information from the Society of Physics Students, Physics Today, and the AIP Federation that highlight LGBTQ+ scientists’ experiences, fostering a more inclusive physics community, while Physics Today provides insightful interviews, best practices, and reporting on queer science issues.
