This from HRC -- the same source that AFA is using for info on Ford. GM does gay advertising, gives to gay causes, offers domestic partner benefits, sponsors a gay employee group, and has mandatory diversity training. I think you'll have to look overseas if you really want to buy your next car from a manufacturer that isn't gay-friendly...
