Ohio can avoid major competitive risks – and win investment, business, and talent – by sending a clear and consistent signal that the LGBT community is fully welcome here. This message matters to large and small businesses, to tourism and travel bookers, and to talented workers. Treating LGBT people fairly and welcoming them warmly costs nothing and would change our state’s brand for the better, while creating quantifiable, long-term economic benefits.
That’s what we call a smart business decision.
Together, we can create an Ohio where talent thrives, businesses flourish, and discrimination has no place. Be part of the movement that shapes the future. Stand with us, and let's ensure that when Ohio competes, everyone wins!
