A number of states are becoming less friendly toward LGBTQ+ people, a survey released at the start of the Pride Month shows, and they’re putting themselves at economic risk. LGBTQ+ people hold an estimated purchasing power of $917 billion in the U.S.
A number of states are becoming less friendly toward LGBTQ+ people — and they’re putting themselves at economic risk as a result.
This year’s survey, released at the start of June’s Pride Month celebration, found that scores dropped for more than half of states. In fact, the country’s overall average score on LGBTQ+ equality dropped 1.14 points — a first since the organization began publishing its State LGBTQ+ Business Climate Index five years ago. The report suggested this decline came as a result of more than 500 anti-equality bills being introduced across 46 states this legislative cycle.
“While the top ranked states for LGBTQ+ equality broadly are staying strong, the bottom ranked states decreased in score significantly,” Brian Sims, Out Leadership’s managing director for public policy and government affairs, said in a statement. “This continues to signal increasing polarization across the country in political and cultural attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community.”
“Before DeSantis, Florida had a lot of positive, inclusive policies, and those haven’t all gone away,” Sears said. From the archives : ‘I’ll do anything to keep my family together’: Trans kids’ parents are draining their savings to flee conservative states
