Pride Month: These are the 5 most LGBTQ-friendly states in the U.S. -- and the least [View all]
A number of states are becoming less friendly toward LGBTQ+ people — and they’re putting themselves at economic risk as a result.
That’s according to the annual LGBTQ+ Business Climate Index survey from Out Leadership, an organization that connects LGBTQ+ people and their allies with companies around the world. The survey tracks all 50 states in terms of a “broad array of markers of policies, attitudes, and measurements relating to LGBTQ+ inclusion.”

Conversely, New York ranked highest among all states in the 2023 survey, with a score of 93.67. Runners-up were Connecticut (93.27), Massachusetts (92.67), New Jersey (90) and Colorado (88.67).
