Spend Your Gay Money Where It Counts

The Human Rights Campaign just released their annual buying guide for companies that support equality for the LGBT community. The rankings are based on the Corporate Equality Index, which surveys businesses and their practices and policies towards gays. You can get the full buying guide here. It’s a PDF download, so keep a copy in your car, in your backpack, by your computer and use them as stocking stuffers for all your family and friends.

Following is a list of companies that received perfect scores (Woohoo!) and are of particular interest to the FBOTU community:

Target
Sears
Gap
Abercrombie & Fitch
Starbucks
Chevron
Shell
Coca-Cola
Pepsi
Anheuser-Busch
Coors
Electronic Arts
Apple
Microsoft
Mattel
Barnes & Noble
Borders
Gamestop
eBay
Costco
Amazon

Surprisingly, Hasbro and Toys R Us ranked lower on the list and were described as “taking steps,” but still have “progress to be made.” That’s something, at least.

So, take your guide with you and happy gay shopping! Don’t forget to pick up a toy for your local Toys for Tots drive!
