Human Rights Campaign Signature Speaker Series—The Economic Case for LGBT Equality: A conversation with Dr. Lee Badgett and Bob Witeck
In conversation with LGBTQ business leader Bob Witeck, Dr. Lee Badgett will share the compelling research she has explored on the consequences of anti-LGBTQ practices around the world – and specifically how our economies lose when we miss out on the full contributions made by LGBTQ people. Unequal laws, discrimination on the job and in the workplace, harassment and bullying in school, violence and hate crimes on the streets, exclusion from intolerant families and the health effects of stigma make it incredibly difficult to live good and rewarding lives – all ways that diminish the full economic benefits of LGBTQ inclusion in every community.

Economic Perspectives on LGBTQ Discrimination Policy
LGBTQ individuals and their families face unique challenges in leading healthy, safe, productive lives. These challenges include increased risk of physical violence, as well as bigotry and discrimination in employment, housing, health care, and other areas, all of which negatively impact their ability to exercise equal rights, access economic opportunities, and participate fully in society. This workshop will bring together a small group of stakeholders including economists, researchers, educators, policymakers, and advocates, to share up-to-date research findings on the impacts of LGBTQ policies and to share insights that can inform future LGBTQ research and policy evaluation.
