National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, the only national advocacy organization dedicated to expanding economic opportunities for the LGBTQ+ business community, has officially endorsed Joe Biden for president of the United States.This is only the second presidential endorsement in the NGLCC’s 20-year history and was approved unanimously by the organization’s board of directors.The endorsement reflects a commitment to pass the Equality Act under a Biden administration, which the group says would grant all LGBTQ+ Americans access to pursue their small business dreams free of discrimination.
