N2 - We study the effect of firms’ LGBTQ+-friendliness on their labor investment efficiency and find that an improvement in firms’ LGBTQ+-friendliness leads to greater labor investment inefficiencies, and that more LGBTQ+-friendly firms tend to underinvest in labor. However, we show that this relationship diminishes over time as societal and legal support for LGBTQ+ equal rights increases. A variety of firm and societal characteristics moderate the negative link between corporate LGBTQ+-friendliness and labor investment efficiency.
