M.V. Lee Badgett on recent events bringing government and private sector discrimination of LGBT people into sharper focus

M.V. Lee Badgett, economics and director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration, says recent events such as the controversy over Indiana’s religious freedom law show that in addition to discrimination by government for LGBT people, private sector discrimination is now also coming into sharper focus. She says removing government discrimination provokes a larger debate and makes LGBT people more visible to the society in general. (Washington Blade, 4/8/15)
