A new LGBTQ+ certification program is available to Columbus businesses to increase economic participation and contracting opportunities.

is now available to Columbus businesses through a partnership with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce.

While Chief Diversity Officer Damita Brown said there are not specific contracts set aside for LGBTQ+ certified businesses, the city hopes to create a"sheltered market program" in which only certified businesses can compete for certain contracts. Columbus businesses can only be certified as an LGBTQ+ business through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, though LGBTQ+ companies can also have women-owned and minority-owned designations.

 

How do you 'certify' a business is LBGTWXYZ owned? Do they have to commit a sex act in front of the certifier?

Good thing one can suddenly identify as LGBTQ+ in order to gain certification and government business!
