For years, I've steered away (literally) from buying gas at Exxon and Mobil stations. If they have no respect for gay rights, I see no reason to spend my money at their stations. Now, we have an update of the companies that respect us and the ones that don't.
First, a little ad for the organization that brings us this list, the Human Rights Campaign. HRC has been a force for equal rights for years and will continue to be one. I have a bias, having joined as an "HRC Partner" a while back, but I joined because I like what they do. So please consider supporting HRC (or People for the American Way, the ACLU, God's Love We Deliver or, really, any other worthy charity) this season. We tend to spend a lot of money on things that aren't really necessities in this season, so let's not forget where we can do some real good.
Now, without further adieu, here it is: The HRC Gift Buying Guide
Please use the list to guide your buying decisions (for gifts and more mundane items). Also, as one last note, please feel free to look here for more on the effort to get the leadership of Exxon-Mobil to pull their heads out of their asses. While there are plenty of companies who fall short of the mark, these folks have gone above and beyond the call to show their bigotry, deliberately walking away from equal rights protections.
