M.V. Lee Badgett study cited by columnist addressing the need for a ‘nondiscrimination in the job market’ clause in Guam’s laws in the face of the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage

A columnist writing about how Guam’s laws have to be adjusted to reflect the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision legalizing same-sex marriage says one key change needs to be a nondiscrimination in the job market clause. He cites a study by M.V. Lee Badgett, economics and director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration, that found between one-quarter to two-thirds of lesbian, gay and bisexual people have lost jobs or been denied promotions because of their sexual orientation.
