NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The nation's largest companies have become leaders in extending rights to gay, bisexual and transgender employees, according to a published report Monday.
The Washington Post, citing a study by the advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, reports that among the Fortune 500, 216 companies, or more than 40 percent, provided domestic partner benefits. That's about 10 times the number that offered those benefits a decade ago.

What rights are they denied?
All the growth in the economy is coming from small companies, that are actually focused on delivering products or services, rather than whether Jim would look better in lavendar or fuchsia...
The right to indoctrinate your children that their perversions are "normal", of course.
Gay Isn't!
I hate the PC and sterile term, "domestic partner".
I don't care who someone sleeps with and neither should anyone else. I was just asking what constitution God given right are they denied.
"Live wrong and prosper?"
I used to not care, but now I realize that homosexuality is just a symptom of a more insidious disease. It is too virulent and dangerous to simply let it be. If you tolerate it, they will recruit children, they cannot help themselves. By social stigma or force of law, it must be removed from the public sphere and driven back underground where the harm remains in the cesspool from where it originates.
The real question is: Are benefits offered to different-sex couples as well as the same sex couples? At AT&T they weren't. I was told that Gays, Bi-Sexuals, Trans-testicles, and other freaks had rights that would not be allowed to a guy and his fiancee.
"I don't care who someone sleeps with and neither should anyone else. I was just asking what constitution God given right are they denied."
Does this extend to siblings and parent-offspring sleeping arrangements? Just wondered if you draw a line anywhere.
Also, why should one have to sleep with perverts to receive partner benefits?
Do you have a final solution for them?
Nope, just a maintenance plan.
"Does this extend to siblings and parent-offspring sleeping arrangements? Just wondered if you draw a line anywhere."
Stop being stupid, it hurts my head.
"Just wondered if you draw a line anywhere."
If two or more consenting adults wish to do whatever as long as they don't hurt anyone. I'm fine with it. I have this freedom complex.
*shakes head*
Can I hear it?
Spot on! They don't want "rights", they already have the same ones as everyone else. They want special privileges to foist their bizarre behaviors off on everyone else and force the rest of us to say it's "normal". Already they have gone into full recruitment mode in the public schools. Question airs asking things like "How do you know you're not gay?" have been circulated to kids in high schools. Public dissent has been crushed in the name of diversity. It's just assumed by the socialists in charge of the public school system that if you think that homosexuality is wrong that there must be something wrong with you.
Yes, consider it 100% off-limits to children, like porn. No special rights, no classroom indoctrination, no "Gay Days" at amusement parks for children, no solicitation of minors. Arrest where appropriate for contributing to the delinquency of minors. Socially, ostracize it like the unhealthy, dangerous behavior it is, similar to drunk driving.
That's scary.
Is it? It's more tolerant than the historical norm, while keeping priorities in order. Protection of children is higher on the liberty food chain than exercise of perversion. You may be under the illusion that there is a live-and-let-live happy medium, but that would be wrong, there is none.
So I take that as you draw, no line?? I just wanted to establish where you are coming from.
"Hurting someone"--that is the point. AIDS and other venereal diseases are public health issues that have cost taxpayers billions. For example, on a per victim basis, AIDS (mostly a disease of male homos in this country--about 95% of cases) more money has been spent on researching and treating this easily preventable disease, then the greatest killers of our time, cancer, cardiovascular disease, adult-onset diabetes, and Alzhiemers. I suggest you check CDC records for more enlightening information.
