“Congress is currently considering the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a critical piece of workplace legislation that will include our community. Until all LGBT Americans get fair treatment in the workplace, we must support businesses that support us,” Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign said in a statement. “By purchasing products from businesses that support LGBT equality, shoppers send a clear message to businesses that their support, or lack thereof, will directly impact their bottom line.”

The guide ranks LGBT supportive employers next to those who don’t make the grade. For instance, Target bests Wal-Mart with a 100 percent rating compared to Wal-Mart’s 40 percent.
