What happens when a corporation takes a stand against domestic partner benefits? They will be targeted by the liberal media and run the risk of making all of their corporate customers mad. That's a risk they don't even want to think about.
Now we are starting to see any politician that is against the gay agenda labeled as anti-civil-rights nor pro-discrimination. Did you happen to hear Laura Bush on the subject on Fox news. She danced around the subject saying she didn't want to see it used as a political weapon. No personal opinion on the matter at all.
When I read a post like http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1633267/posts that is titled "ExxonMobil's gay problem (Barf Alert!)" I shake my head in amazement. I wonder how many people are on the "Homosexual Agenda Ping" list.
