As our country reopened and began healing from the devastating pandemic, Out Leadership remained resolute in our mission to provide research and resources that help businesses operate in the most equitable and inclusive ways. With the release of our third annual LGBTQ+ U.S. Business Climate Index report, we assess how legislation, policies, resource allocation, and attitudes in each of the 50 states impact LGBTQ+ safety and inclusion. Every state is scored and ranked based on identical, quantifiable, and verifiable criteria. Our hope is to provide business leaders actionable information about the climate in which they conduct business and quantify the economic imperative for inclusion and the cost of discrimination through this transparent assessment of the landscape of LGBTQ+ inclusion in America.
