ABSTRACT
The authors describe experiences as Black, gay, cisgender men as shaped by simultaneous hypervisibility and invisibility. They describe the constant struggle to demonstrate that Blackness and queerness can go together, how they work to increase the visibility of both marginalized communities, while at the same time feeling unseen by both communities. They challenge STEM ideologies that work to conceal the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. Their careers are shaped by the belief that STEM higher education can integrate intersectional identities such as Black and Queer into their classrooms, communities, and consciousness.
