Dear Friends,This year, more than ever, we must be concerned with making sure that everydollar we spend counts. We will have to consider what purchases are mostimportant, what fits into our budgets and when it’s OK to treat ourselves tosomething extra.For those of us who care deeply about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgenderequality, we must also weigh what companies deserve our business. Every day,we make choices that send a powerful message about our values, our principlesand our ideals. We do it every time we buy a cup of coffee, fill our gas tanks,book a flight or clothe our families. Where we spend our dollars has remarkablepotential to positively affect the LGBT community because it reinforces whatmany companies know: fairness is good business.There are hundreds of businesses that have earned the right to call you acustomer. A record 260 companies received a perfect 100 percent score onthe 2009 Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index — aone-third increase over last year. Today, millions of workers are employed bybusinesses that prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientationand gender identity or expression, that have adopted strong policies on diversityand inclusion, and that offer healthcare and partnership benefits that addressthe unique needs of LGBT individuals and families.The Buying for Equality guide allows you to continue this trend by rewardingbusinesses that have shown themselves to be allies of the LGBT community.It provides a way to communicate to corporate America that LGBT-inclusiveworkplace policies have a direct impact on a company’s bottom line.As the Human Rights Campaign Foundation works withcompanies to improve their workplaces, you can do yourpart by using this guide to buy products from companiesthat support the LGBT community.Sincerely,Joe SolmonesePresident, Human Rights Campaign Foundation
