Pink Pi

Mathematicians’ hypotheses or theorems on the number π that grace the pages of gay math journals, which are clandestinely or covertly circulated to protect the authors from getting fired, especially if they work for a conservative college or faculty that doesn’t condone unnatural relationships.
Due to recurring prejudices against them, a number of first-rate minds decide not to submit their pink pi results to oft-anti-LGBT+ reputable math journals, thus reducing their chances of securing tenure—they think that the criteria for career promotion shouldn’t be influenced by sexual orientation.
