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.

A Perfect Christmas Murder Cozy
Format: Kindle
Benedict Brown has succeeded again. It felt like going home for the holidays when Marius and Bella are together again. The story is great, the characters and suspects to murders have such varied and down-right strange manners that they are fascinating to get to know. The story is great. I didn’t guess “who done it”. Marius’ faithful dog, Bella’s faithful chauffeur, all met the new senior housing development residents dents where Bell’s dear Auntie was killed. Despite more murders to come, and despite ignorant or maybe just plain corrupt police, the cases are successfully solved in the end by Marius and Bella. Then a Merry Christmas indeed occurs with Marius , his Mom, Bella and other family. I love the way Benedict Brown always gives a synopsis of his research which is always unusual, informative and fascinating. I really enjoyed book. Well-done once again Mr. Benedict Brown. Keep up the good work.

I enjoyed getting to know Marius and Bella
Format: Kindle
This was the first book I have read the Marius Quin series by Benedict Brown. I do believe I would have enjoyed it more if I had more background into the primary characters, Marius Quin and Lady Bella Montague. However, I still liked spending time trying to solve the murder mysteries and getting to know Marius and Bella more. The relationship between the two of them is entertaining, and I loved that while they have such different personalities, their relationship is built on a lifelong friendship and full of warmth and caring. A nice cozy mystery that I enjoyed enough that I will go back and read the earlier books in the series.
