Just in time for the holidays! HRC released a guide, "Buying for Equality", it's a must read.

via HRC:
Corporate America is leading the way to fairness and equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in offices and boardrooms around the country. By offering domestic partner benefits and implementing inclusive anti-discrimination policies, workplaces are rapidly becoming a fairer place for all employees.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2005 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) found that a record 101 companies scored a perfect 100 percent - more than seven times as many since the first CEI was published in 2002. Despite successes in the workplace, it is still legal in 34 states to fire a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender employee for no reason other than who they are. Many companies still have a long way to go to ensure equality for all employees.

The Human Rights Campaign's Buying for Equality guide provides you with the information you need to support products from companies that support equality. Making the choice to support fair-minded businesses can help affect real change in workplaces across the country.

Please view the online version of the Buying for Equality guide for the most up-to-date information.
