With Thanksgiving over we've reached the time of the year when it's actually morally ok to play Christmas music 24/7. If you're anything like me, what this season is really about trying to figure out just how much damage you can do with your credit card buying gifts for friends and family and still make it to January (note to self: not a heck of a lot).
To help me in this consumerist endeavor, the folks over at the HRC annually put together a buyer's guide for shoppers looking to spend their money at companies that treat their LGBTQ employees with fairness. While on the surface this seems an incredibly helpful undertaking, like many things the HRC does, it is lacking when it comes to the "T" part of LGBTQ.
This link is to a blog I regularly read that covers many issues of interest to the queer community. A blogger there recently wrote about trying to find accurate information in the HRC Buyer's Guide regarding trans policies. Check it out!
I am, of course, not saying not to use the Buyer's Guide, there's a lot of helpful stuff in there. However, this is only another instance of the HRC leaving out the "T" in our community.
[Side note from Julie: Keep the above in mind, but here is the 2009 buyers guide if you are interested.]
