There's a moral case for LGBT equality. And there's a human rights case for LGBT equality. But did you know that there's an economic case for it too?
And the economic case may be the strongest argument we have in today's environment.
MV Lee Badgett is a Distinguished Scholar with the Williams Institute and Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts—Amherst. She is also the author of the powerful book, The Economic Case for LGBT Equality: Why Fair and Equal Treatment Benefits Us All.
On this episode of Queer Money®, Lee joins us to explore the relationship between inclusion and economic development, explaining how minority stress affects LGBT workers, businesses and the economy overall.
Lee discusses the potential flight out of states passing anti-LGBT and anti-trans legislation, describing how that migration might impact those states and the companies there.
