The tribe has implemented an equal employment policy for LGBT workers and same-sex couples are also eligible for medical benefits. The tribe also added LGBT businesses to its list of minority-owned businesses.

"Our Pequot culture has endured a lot of discrimination over the centuries so we understand the importance of being able to embrace all the freedoms" said tribal spokesperson Lori Potter, The New London Day reported.
