A good boycott list. IMO.

More demoralizing propaganda from the Homo Rectal Campaign.

Don't believe most of the bilge that's disseminated by this anarchist group.

“Record number of businesses rated gay friendly”

A) I’d settle for gay “indifferent.”

B) My first thought was “boycott” but how do you do that when there are so many? At some point you just have to “go Galt” and let the chips fall.

On the whole, our society has reached the "bend over and grab your ankles" point.

And some folks are just facing that future with a big ol' smile on their face.

Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay organization, which launched its Corporate Equality Index in 2002, when only 13 businesses received a perfect score. By 2006 it had grown to 138, and last year it was at 305.

More places where you can work ping.

I just closed my Wells Fargo account today. When the account manager asked why, I gave her an earful. I know the folks at the local branches are just trying to make a living, and I expressed as much sympathy to her, but the organization is corrupt to its core. She expressed sincere shock at most of what I had to tell her, especially regarding Wells Fargo’s enmity toward the Boy Scouts.

Gay friendly actually means gay terrified. These companies without a doubt have had closed door meetings with their lawyers and have concluded that presenting an outward appearance of gay tolerance is the best way to avoid a costly lawsuit. That’s it, period, in a nutshell.

I hear you. The pandering to the Perverted 2% is astounding.

"Don't believe most of the bilge that's disseminated by this anarchist group."

As a manager of a large mid size corp, I have never been contacted by these people.

We still work by the old don't ask don't tell rules. It works.

You have to wonder why these companies are scared of a handful of homos but not scared of the masses of faithful. Maybe it’s time the latter did some scaring of their own.

..offering at least one insurance benefit for employees wanting to change their sex.

What about people who want to change their species? What if someone feels as though they are a cat trapped in a human's body?

It seems this rating is tran-species phobic.

I saw a lot of figures scanning that article, but I didn’t see a single 69.

..and what about people who are trans-divinity? Maybe they feel they are a god trapped in a human’s body? What if all this war on obesity is actually a war on trans-divinity, specifically those who feel like they are a buddha?

Corporations that dedicate large amounts of resources to “diversity” I have found to also have the worst customer service, to the point of being “work ethic free zones”. I just fired AT&T this week for failure to address an internet problem (business account). AT&T did not really care, and lost not only the internet account, but also the phone account. Apparently AT&T’s priority is appeasing the layabouts in their corporation who do no work, and use “identity politics” as a blackmail tool. These corporations need to do the marketplace a favor - die. Make room for competitors who have the priority of delivering the product rather than parading how “tolerant” they are.

I can’t believe you went and dragged out old “Underground Panther”....

remember it was a male cat trapped in a woman’s body, so get that right. She was trans-sexual & trans-species.

And a flaming insane person.

go figure.

Home Depot funds and sponsors gay pride parades, including one led by a child. Pedo-pride parades?
