Kim and Marc dive into the growing influence of LGBTQ+ businesses, which generate a staggering $1.7 trillion in revenue in the U.S. They also challenge the so-called "drag queen test" for a city's economic vitality, which ties inclusivity to a thriving economy. Kim pushes back against the notion that LGBTQ+ inclusion automatically leads to economic prosperity, highlighting the significant purchasing power of conservative groups and Christians. They also criticize the idea that certain cities are more successful purely based on inclusivity, drawing a comparison between the economic health of Saint Louis and suburban Saint Charles. The conversation touches on the growing push for self-expression in the workplace, even in schools, and warns of the consequences if society doesn't act now.
