BUYING FOR EQUALITY

***************************



The holiday season is upon us, and as many of us head to the
stores and the shopping malls, we'd like to give you a very
tangible way to support equality with every dollar you spend.

The Human Rights Campaign's Buyer's Guide gives you the
information you need to support companies that support equality.
The guide utilizes the groundbreaking research and advocacy of
the Human Rights Campaign's Workplace Project to give you the
tools to effect corporate change in your everyday life.

Shopping at Banana Republic or L.L. Bean? Filling up the tank at
Shell or Exxon? Fighting the mid-afternoon snacking urge with a
Balance Bar or a Power Bar? Our buyer's guide will let you know
which products and companies to support and which to avoid.

After you've downloaded your guide, please take a minute to tell
at least 5 friends how they can support equality by flexing
their own purchasing power. To let your friends know about the

We are proud to say that corporate America is leading the way to
fairness and equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
people in offices and boardrooms around the country. By offering
domestic partner benefits and implementing inclusive
anti-discrimination policies, workplaces are rapidly becoming a
fairer place for all employees.

However, it is still legal in most states to fire a gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender employee for no other reason
than who they are. Many companies still have a long way to go
toward equality for all employees. You can help turn the tide by
making informed decisions about the products you purchase and
the companies you choose to support, especially during this busy
shopping season.

Together, we can help effect real change in workplaces across
the country.

Warmly,

Joe Solmonese
Human Rights Campaign President
