Impact analysis
A low inclusivity ranking could make it harder to attract LGBTQ-friendly employers, workers, and visitors, though the city disputes the report so any economic hit is not guaranteed.
People who want clearer data and accountability from city leaders benefit, since the report forces a public conversation about inclusivity.
LGBTQ residents and local businesses that rely on a welcoming reputation could be harmed if the low ranking sticks and discourages people from living, working, or spending there.
