Record-breaking number of gay-friendly companies make HRC list
An unprecedented 195 high-profile U.S. businesses earned a perfect score in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s sixth annual Corporate Equality Index, which rates employers on their treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender workers, clients, and investors. The number of companies receiving a 100% rating increased by 41% over last year, from 138 to 195, the organization announced Monday.
+1 to our hope for this country! (Unfortunately, you'll need to buy October's Advocate to get the actual list. -0.05.)
Remember those federal prosecutors who got fired? Ever wonder what happened to the ones who didn't?
Couresty of Dan Savage on the SLOG, the really awful:
A federal prosecutor from Florida was ordered held in custody Monday after he appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit on a charge that he flew to Detroit intending to have sex with a 5-year-old girl...
According to the complaint, Atchison reassured the sheriff’s deputy who was posing as the child’s mother that he would not hurt the 5-year-old because he goes “slow and easy,” and “I’ve done it plenty.” ...
News of Atchison's arrest is "a shellshock" in Gulf Breeze, where Atchison was the president of a local youth recreation board and had been involved in coaching soccer, baseball and other sports, said Lt. Rich Hawthorne of the Gulf Breeze police.
-5,000,000 to hope.
Total: -4,999,999.5
