This meeting will provide an opportunity for people interested in LGBTIQQAP+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, asexual, pansexual, etc.) issues in physics to meet, network, and discuss issues faced by this community. Some suggested topics for discussion include: lack of employment protections on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, lack of data on the LGBTIQQAP+ physicist demographics, health insurance policies for domestic partners and transgender related health care, and creating networking resources so that LGBTIQQAP+ physicists have a means of communicating with one another.

Currently there is extremely little in the way of resources for LGBTIQQAP+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, asexual, pansexual, etc.) physicists. This meeting will be an open conversation to start creating these resources. The session is open to both LGBTIQQAP+ physicists as well as straight and cisgender people who are interested in helping those of us who aren't. Some topics that will be on the discussion floor: lack of employment protections on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, lack of data on the LGBTIQQAP+ physicist demographics, health insurance policies that cover domestic partners and transgender related health care, and creating networking resources so that LGBTIQQAP+ physicists have a means of communicating with one another.
