HRC

So, I have recently started to learn more about the Human Rights Campaign, or the HRC. I'm proud to announce that the company I work for, Best Buy has received a score of 100 from the HRC. That basically means that Best Buy offers the same benefits for same sex couples as they do for hetro couples. Not only is it great for our employees, but it shows people in both straight and GLBt community that BBY is willing to defend ALL human rights.

In any event, I also learned some appalling news that in thirty three (33) states, if your company doesn't protect you, you can get fired for being gay!!! That horrifies me. Today I filled out the form on HRC's website to urge my congress person not to vote for President Bush's nomination of Dr. James Holsinger for surgeon general.

Visit the website if you have a chance...
