Corporate support swings behind marriage equality
Starbucks,
Microsoft, Boeing and Google are among a growing number of companies
taking stands in favor of allowing same-sex couples to marry, a
development some say is emblematic of a major shift in corporate
America’s approach to LGBT issues. “Earlier on there was more risk than
reward. Now there’s far more talk about the reward and less about the
risk,” said Bob Witeck, a consultant who advises corporations on LGBT
issues. Another sign of
the sea change in corporate thinking on the issue: Target is selling
T-shirts with LGBT-positive messages to help raise money for the Family
Equality Council, a group which is part of coalition fighting a marriage
amendment in Minnesota. Politico (Washington, D.C.)
