More than 80 percent of companies in the Fortune 500 now ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Anyone got a list of the other 20 percent? I'd prefer to do business with companies that have higher moral standards than the other 80 percent.

Who's going to protect me in the workplace when a gay HR director and/or two gay co-workers in my department decide I'm uncool because I'm a "breeder"?

Yeah, I thought so.

[MNJohnnie]

Curious, since they have now have "gay pride" weeks etc at these corps can we sue them for discrimination against Hetros? Hey "Gay Activists" you don't want the Govt in your bedrooms? Fine, keep your bedrooms out of our Govt and Business lives

"there's no doubt about who's winning the war."

Unfortunately, I can't argue with that.

• Shareholder Proxy Votes cast in default = Corporate America backs "homosexual rights"

• Massachusetts Supreme Court Ruling = Massachusetts backs "homosexual marriage"

• US Supreme Court Ruling; Lawrence = America backs "homosexual sex"

Hmmm -- seems like the tail wagging the dog...

"Corporate America is ahead of government in providing equal treatment for GLBT people because it knows that fairness is good for business," declares Joe Solmonese, president of Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay and lesbian civil rights group.

No, it knows that compliance is cheaper than paying off lawsuits, especially when the government invariably sides with the grievance cartels.

How can 2-3% of the population do this much damage to the rest of America's morals, mores and way of life? Sounds like they're more like 25% of the population, with the power they weild.

Here's a couple of Exxon VP's celebrating Q Day at the office, a day when all employees are encouraged to get "outside the box" so to speak.

[AmericanChef]

How do these companies verifiy someone is gay, and that their stated "partner" is actually a "partner"?

And...are heteros who live together but aren't married making any noise about the discrimination to their own relationships (or rather, to the lack of benefits)?

[dcnd9]

Where did they come up with the 80% figure?....probably just like the made up 10- 20% of the pop is gay [only 1-2% is gay]!

You can add LOWES building supply to this list.

It's about pressure and threats of expensive lawsuits.

"All these trends are moving in one direction - towards more special rights for gay and lesbian people."

[Jorge]

I'm all for equal rights for gays and lesbians when it comes to employment and housing.

However when they start pushing gay marriage, teaching homosexuality is "normal" in grade schools, and defining religious beliefs as "hate speech", I draw the line.
