Signs of Progress


Cause it's all about the Benjamins:

* A majority of Fortune 500 companies, 253 (51 percent), offer domestic partner health insurance benefits. HRC notes that this is the first time it's topped 50%. [Jeff's note: this coverage is considered 'income' by the IRS if you're not 'married']

* 430 (86 percent) of the organizations include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies

* 81 include gender identity and/or expression, marking a tenfold increase from 2001.
