Dear Friends,

Now that we have an unprecedented opportunity to effect dramatic change for

our community, it is more important than ever that we keep our allies in this fight
close at hand. We can help seize this opportunity with the economic choices
we make. Each time we spend money, we support one or more companies. We
need to support our community with these choices, and this Buying for Equality
guide tells us how to do just that. In this guide, you will learn which corporations
support our community — through non-discrimination policies, equal family
benefits, comprehensive healthcare and employee support — and which do not.

Fortunately, we can report that even though businesses have been hit hard by
these challenging economic times, the upward trend toward fair policies for our
community has not wavered. In spite of the downturn, more companies reached
a 100 percent score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate
Equality Index 2010 — the basis for this guide. A record 305 companies
met each of the CEI’s criteria, from banning discrimination based on sexual
orientation and gender identity, to providing benefits for LGBT employees and
their families, to supporting LGBT causes outside their company.

It makes sense. Businesses consistently report that support for LGBT equality
is good for their bottom line. As the HRC Foundation makes it possible for more
companies to join us as allies and reach 100 percent on the CEI, you can do your
part to continue this trend by using this guide to buy products and services from
those companies that support the LGBT community.

Every day we make choices that send a message about our values. This guide
gives you the information you need to make economic choices that are
consistent with those values. Whether you are choosing a grocery
store or buying a pair of jeans or an airline ticket, give your
hard-earned dollars to companies that are committed to
our equality. We at the HRC Foundation hope that you will
use this guide as another way to make your voice heard —
through principled economic decisions.

Sincerely,

Joe Solmonese
President, Human Rights Campaign Foundation

FOR MORE INFORMATION OR
TO CONTACT US, PLEASE VISIT
WWW.HRC.ORG/BUYERSGUIDE
The information in this guide comes from
the 2010 Corporate Equality Index, the
Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s
annual report card on corporate Ameri-
ca’s treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender employees, consumers
and investors.
Businesses are rated on a scale from 0 to
100, based on whether or not they have
policies that support LGBT people. These
include anti-discrimination protections,
domestic partner benefits, diversity train-
ing, transgender-inclusive benefits and
external practices.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation
researches policies at more than 1,800
companies (including the Fortune 1000
and American Lawyer 200). However,
we don’t rate a business until we have
collected and verified all the information
we need. In all, we rated 590 companies
in 2010.
Any business with 500 or more U.S.
employees can be rated. If you don’t see
a company listed, contact the Human
Rights Campaign with any information
you have about its policies on LGBT
issues. Or, write the business and tell it
you make purchasing decisions based on
how it scored in this guide.
