Companies That Support Gay Rights

Let support Business and Corporations that support gay rights

(GayWebSource.com) Gay haters had their day at Chick-Fil-A to show their hate for us gay folk.  They let us know they do not think that we should have the same rights they have.  It was nice of the that one restaurant to open it doors to them so they had a place to meet and talk about how to bring down the gay.

We gay folk should do something like that and go to the business that supports us.  Lets see what business supports us?  I don’t think there are any.  oh wait Microsoft donated $100,000 to  Washington Families Standing Together and Apple donated $100,000 to the No on Prop 8 campaign and the founders of Google donated $140,000 to the No campaign.  I guess there are some business who like us.  Actually, this year there are 189 business that earned the top rating of 100 percent at the Human Rights Campaign’s.  So, I guess there are a lot of business that we can go support.
