I am ace and that’s okay

I am ace and that’s amazing

I’m ace and that’s wonderful

Yes some days are going to be harder than others

Some days I may struggle

But I am who I am and that’s extraordinary

And there are others who will help and support me

There may be people who don’t support me

But the people that matter will

As a PhD student in education, Bryce Hughes wondered whether being gay was part of the reason why he never pursued engineering beyond his undergraduate degree. Perhaps, he thought, students who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer were more likely than heterosexuals to abandon science studies. Now he knows: students from sexual minorities are leaving science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degrees at higher rates than their heterosexual classmates.

The findings1, published in Science Advances on 14 March, provide the first direct evidence that lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer (LGBQ) students are leaking out of the scientific pipeline. Social scientists “suspected it, but it’s nice to see it documented”, says Erin Cech, a sociologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The study focused on students’ sexual identity, so Hughes did not specifically look at transgender or gender-non-conforming students.
