AB  - Due to limited data, we know little about the prevalence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) educators. Using the American Community Survey and Census Pulse, we examine the representation of LGBTQ+ individuals in PK-12 teaching. We find that 3.3-3.5 percent of LGBTQ+ individuals are teachers; in contrast, 4.4-4.9 percent of non-LGBTQ+ individuals are teachers. This new evidence highlights the need for data collection and research to explore why LGBTQ+ individuals are underrepresented in teaching, along with approaches to remedy this disparity, which likely has implications for LGBTQ+ students.
