An economist demonstrates how LGBT equality and inclusion within organizations increases their bottom line and allows for countries' economies to flourish

We know that homophobia harms LGBT individuals in many ways, but economist M. V. Lee Badgett argues that in addition to moral and human rights reasons for equality, we can now also make a financial argument. Finding that homophobia and transphobia cost 1% or more of a country's GDP, Badgett expertly uses recent research and statistics to analyze how these hostile practices and environments affect both the US and global economies.

LGBT equality remains a persistent and pertinent issue. The continued passing of discriminatory laws, people being fired from jobs for their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, harassment and bullying in school, violence and hate crimes on the streets, exclusion from intolerant families, and health effects of stigma all make it incredibly difficult to live a good life. Examining the consequences of anti-LGBT practices across multiple countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, India and the Philippines, Badgett reveals the expensive repercussions of hate and discrimination, and how our economy loses when we miss out on the full benefit of LGBT people's potential contributions.

The best athletic socks you can buy!
Size: X-Large, Color: White/Graphite (6-pairs)
These are the very best athletic socks you can buy period. I have had several pairs that are over 10 years old and still in wearable condition. We are talking several hundred washes. They are super comfortable and no show. I can't overstate how great these socks are.

Repurchased many times. My husband's "everything" socks!
Size: X-Large, Color: White/Graphite (6-pairs)
My husband always asks for a new pack of these UA socks every birthday and Christmas. He wears them with all types of shoes and for everything he does: daily work, weekend casual, and athletics. They're thick, super soft, and durable, but yet still breathable--even in the heat of summer. It takes months and months of constant wear and washings before they develop holes in the heel. Great socks!

Great socks
Size: X-Large, Color: White/Graphite (6-pairs)
I really like these socks. Feel good, long lasting, high quality. Fortunately they are not as high at the ankle as they look in the picture.

Very Nice Athletic Socks - Fit as expected.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
So far so good. I purchased the XL size and they fit well for my size 14 feet. They seem to have held up well in the 7 days I have been wearing them - 2 washes so far. Only time will tell if they last. I do know if you walk around the house in your socks they will develop holes on the bottom much faster than if you just wear them in shoes.
