HRC - Buying for Equality 2009

The Human Rights Campaign has listed their annual publication called "Buying for Equality" which helps consumers identify which companies are supportive of the LGBT community.

According to a Witeck-Combs/Market Research.com study, the buying power of the LGBT community is estimated to be $759 billion in 2009.

Let us use our money wisely. Check out the guide for a comprehensive listing per category and be sure to spread the word!

I am not a fan of HRC or Joe Solomonese but the guide does have some value. Granted, there are tons of businesses listed I would never support on there regardless of their ranking but it does provide a useful resource with regards to some categories. HRC is not Greenpeace so I don't expect them to be ranking based on environmental practices anymore than I would expect PETA to rank on LGBT issues. That being said I wish HRC would actually be for an inclusive ENDA. We can take the good from every organization, and criticize them for what we don't like.
