http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169939Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Gamestop have recently received high praises from the Human Rights Campaign (via Game Politics) for being among 259 companies who received a perfect score in the 2009 Corporate Equality Index. The CEI is the Human Rights Campaign's annual report where American businesses are rated on their treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers, and investors.
According to the report, the HRC "utilizes lists of the largest and most successful U.S. employers as a basis for inviting businesses to participate in the Corporate Equality Index, including Fortune magazine's 1,000 largest publicly traded businesses (the 2007 Fortune 1000) and American Laywer magazine's top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (the 2007 AmLaw 200). Additionally, any private-sector, for-profit employer with 500 or more full-time U.S. employees can request to participate by emailing
workplace@hrc.org."
