## Transcript

Equality in the workplace is not the right thing to do. It turns out to be good business. That's why a majority of Fortune 500 companies already have non- discrimination policies in place. It is just about doing the right thing. It is also about attracting and retrai, retaining the best talent. And there are several business leader s who are here today who will attest to that and, yet despite all that too many states and in too many workplaces simply being gay, ****, bisexual or transgender can still be a firable offense. First the Federal Government already prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Once I've signed this order, the same will be explicitly true for gender identity. And we've got a long way to go. But I hope as everybody looks around this room, you are reminded of the extraordinary progress that we have made. Not just in our lifetimes, but in the last five years. In the last two years. [ NOISE ] In the last. One year. We're on the right side of history. Thank you. Thank you. [ APPLAUSE ]
