Gay men 'less likely' to have degree in science, technology, engineering or maths

Sexual orientation gap for men larger than gap between white and black men, study shows

Men in same-sex relationships are significantly less likely to have a degree in a Stem (science, technology, engineering and maths) subject than their heterosexual male peers, according to research.

Until now, studies have focused largely on the gender gap in Stem, where women are still hugely underrepresented in higher education and make up less than a quarter of the Stem workforce in the UK.
