A recent study by Jeremy B. Yoder of California State University, Northridge, and coworkers found that LGBTQ+ scientists, including asexual scientists, who are not out at work publish fewer papers than a comparison group of straight and cisgender scientists (PLOS One 2022, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0263728). Scientists who were out had publication rates similar to those of their straight and cisgender peers. The consequences of the closet, therefore, are real and measurable, and they impede scientific progress.
