Op-Ed: First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) Is Bad for Business

This week the National Gay & Sapphic Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the business voice of the LGBT community, wrote to the Joined States House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform to encourage them to reject the so-called First Amendment Defense Act being considered by that committee this week.

The NGLCC is the largest national advocacy entity dedicated to expanding the economic opportunities and advancements of the LGBT business community. Representing more than 1.4 million LGBT business owners, 140+ corporate partners, and 50+ local, state, and international affiliate chambers, NGLCC is the largest LGBT business training and economic representation organization in the world.
