Here's a thread of papers and surveys I find useful in conversations about being LGBTQ+ in STEM:
Systemic inequalities for LGBTQ professionals in STEM.
"more likely to experience career limitations, harassment, and professional devaluation...reported more frequent health difficulties and were more likely to intend to leave STEM" https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/3/eabe0933

Coming out in STEM: Factors affecting retention of sexual minority STEM students.
"sexual minority students were 7% less likely to be retained in STEM compared to switching into a non-STEM program" https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/3/eaao6373.full
