Many of America's most successful companies continue to snuggle up to homosexuals, with a record 101 firms receiving a perfect score for "gay"-friendliness, according to a new ranking by a homosexual-rights group.

"Corporate America knows that treating employees fairly is not just the right thing to do, it's good for the bottom line," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which released its annual Corporate Equality Index.

"The enormous growth we've tracked in fair employee policies proves that corporate America is making good on the old adage: what's good for business is good for America."

HRC's index is the nation's only rating system for corporations on homosexual, bisexual and transgender policies, rating companies on a scale from 0 to 100 percent based on a variety of indicators, such as diversity training, equal health-care benefits, and policies prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Among this year's findings:

A record 101 companies score 100 percent, attributed to a sharp increase in gender identity non-discrimination policies. In 2002, only 13 companies earned a perfect mark.

Today, 5.6 million people work at the 101 companies that score 100 percent. Three years ago, approximately 690,000 people were employed by the 13 companies with a perfect score.

Eighty-one percent of scored companies offer health benefits to the domestic partners of employees, up from 70 percent in 2002.

Some companies are proudly flaunting their perfect scores......

Isn't it queer ( in the odd sense of the word).....

The company I work for only gives benefits to employees after stern bargaining with the union except in that one area. Benefits for same-sex partners just came about with no bargaining at all. One day they weren't there and then: there they were. It is soooo unlike the company to give any benefit.

It came back to bite them, though when people with opposite sex live-ins threatened to sue for descrimination. Now they provide benefits for just about anybody.
