This morning, Microsoft announced its support for The Equality Act, a comprehensive federal LGBT non-discrimination legislation.
“To create technology that empowers the world, we need to reflect the diversity of the world,” Microsoft said in a statement. “Supporting diversity, inclusiveness and equal treatment is not just good for business, it is also the right thing to do. That’s why we support the protections for LGBT Americans as outlined in The Equality Act.”
Microsoft joins a number of leading American corporations, including American Airlines, Facebook, Nike, General Mills, Google, Apple, The Dow Chemical Company, and Levi Strauss & Co, in support of federal LGBT non-discrimination protections.
