英文摘要	We show that U.S. state-level employment nondiscrimination acts (ENDAs)-laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity-spur innovation. We find a significant increase in patents and patent citations for firms head-quartered in states that have passed ENDAs relative to firms head-quartered in states that have not. This result is more pronounced for firms that previously have not implemented pro-gay nondiscrimination policies, for firms in states with a large homosexual population, and for firms in human capital-intensive industries. Lastly, we provide evidence suggesting that ENDAs affect innovation by matching employees, who are generally more creative than anti-gay employees, with innovative firms.
