A McDonald's employee who shot a cellphone video of the assault has been fired, with franchise owner Mitchell McPherson saying in a statement, "My first and foremost concern is with the victim. I'm as shocked and disturbed by this assault as anyone would be. The behavior displayed in the video is unfathomable and reprehensible."

Interestingly, the McDonald's Corporation was awarded 85 points out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's "Corporate Equality Index 2011: Rating American Workplaces on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equality."

I think those rating are more something that are 'bought' by giving money to the 'right' organizations and saying the 'right' things far more than they reflect the reality of working for them.

I still don't think Mc D's is going to be getting much if any of my business in the future, but I do find that list rather interesting and it helps me decide what Co.s would be more likely to get my business
