More on the Corporate Equity Index

I came across this article from the San Francisco Chronicle, which goes into detail about the companies that scored high or low in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equity Index. The article is weighted toward giving more information about Bay Area companies.

A few interesting points - three U.S. companies scored a zero: Meijer, Inc., a grocery store chain, Perot Systems, and Exxon Mobil Corp. The other point is that Ford Motor Company, because they scored a perfect score, meaning they have shown support for gay and lesbian employees, customers and investors, is facing a boycott from a number of conservative Christian organizations because it advertises in gay and lesbian publications. Wells Fargo, another company that received a perfect score, experienced Focus on the Family, a conservative Christian advocacy group, withdraw all of its money from Wells Fargo at the end of last year because Wells Fargo donated money to a gay rights organization.
