Business Coalition for the Equality Act

The overwhelming majority of America’s leading businesses have already started addressing workplace fairness for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) employees. But we still need a federal standard that treats all employees the same.

The Business Coalition for the Equality Act is a group of leading U.S. employers that support the Equality Act, federal legislation that would provide the same basic protections to LGBTQ+ people as are provided to other protected groups under federal law.

Launched in March 2016, the 118th Congress coalition included more than 500 member companies, with operations in all 50 states, headquarters spanning 34 states and a combined $7.8 trillion in revenue, and employ over 16 million people in the United States. We continue to count hundreds of these companies as supporters of the bill.
