-- From "Chase bank surveys workers to see if they’re ‘ally of the LGBT community’" by Cheryl K. Chumley, The Washington Times 7/3/14
A JP Morgan Chase bank employee says he’s not only puzzled by an internal company survey that asked workers if they considered themselves friend of the lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender community — he’s fearful of losing his job.
The unnamed employee reported to Professor Robert George of Princeton, who runs a law blog, that this year’s company survey — which is distributed to employees annually as a means of gauging work satisfaction — asked respondents to note if they were disabled, had children or spouses and domestic spouses with disabilities and were members of the LGBT community, Breitbart reported.
But the last question was the most controversial. It read, Breitbart reported: “Are you … an ally of the LGBT community, but not personally identifying as LGBT?”

From "Second Employee Alleges Chase Bank Surveyed Staff's LGBT Loyalty" by Austin Ruse, Breitbart 7/1/14
A second source has confirmed that JP Morgan Chase has asked each of its employees whether they are “an ally of the LGBT community,” which employees have taken as a veiled threat.
The employee told Professor George he fears for his job:
This survey wasn't anonymous. You had to enter your employee ID. With the way things are going and the fact that LGBT rights are being viewed as pretty much tantamount to the civil rights movement of the mid 50s to late 60s, not selecting that option is essentially saying "I'm not an ally of civil rights;" which is a vague way to say "I'm a bigot." The worry among many of us is that those who didn't select that poorly placed, irrelevant option will be placed on the "you can fire these people first" list.To read the entire article above, CLICK HERE.
From "Sponsorship of Gay Pride Parades on the Rise" by Brady McCombs, Associated Press 6/27/14
From Starbucks to eBay to Macy's, the increasing visibility of corporations at the parade in [Salt Lake City,] Utah and at others across the country in recent years comes as same-sex marriage bans fall in the courts and polls show greater public acceptance of gay marriage.
In that climate, companies are finding that the benefits of sponsorship outweigh the risks of staying away, giving them a chance to make a statement in support of diversity and use it to help recruit and retain top talent who want to work for a business that supports LGBT rights.
In Salt Lake City, American Express workers carried giant letters that spelled, "Love=Love," the theme of the parade. JPMorgan Chase marchers wore T-shirts that said, "just be you." A Budweiser's semi-truck festooned with rainbow flags drove slowly through the parade, honking its horns.
At the 43rd Motor City Pride Festival in Detroit, banners were adorned with corporate logos, including those of General Motors, Ford, Comerica bank, Kroger and Whole Foods Market. Delta Air Lines employees handed out day packs, luggage tags and the same cookies that passengers get.

From "Expanding supplier diversity efforts to include LGBT firms is seen as 'next frontier'" by Mark Calvey, Senior Reporter, San Francisco Business Times 6/27/14
. . . major corporations [are] expanding supplier diversity programs to include certified LGBT-owned businesses, helping to spur rapid growth at LGBT chambers of commerce across the country.
. . . LGBT gains in the business community mean the once newsworthy is now commonplace. Even Wells Fargo tapping a gay Latino man, Victor Aranda, as San Francisco market president earlier this year didn't garner the headlines it might have at one time. . . . Last year, the bank supported 50 local Pride parades and celebrations nationwide and will have more than 150 employees participating in San Francisco's Pride parade this weekend.
Today, Wells is joined by Genentech, U.S. Bank, (NYSE: USB) New York Life and other companies that have expanded their supplier diversity efforts to include LGBT-owned businesses. Oakland-based Kaiser Permanente, which expects to have 500 participants in this weekend's Pride parade, recently expanded its supplier-diversity program.

From "Burger King sells gay pride Whopper" by Bruce Horovitz, USA Today 7/1/14
The Proud Whopper, as it's called, comes wrapped in a rainbow colored wrapper with this inscription: "We are all the same inside."
"It showcases who we are as a brand," says Fernando Machado, senior vice president of global brand management at Burger King. "It shows how we, as a brand, believe in self expression."
The move also demonstrates BK's desire to stay connected to its base of Millennial customers. Gay rights is an issue that reverberates strongly with many Millennials both inside and outside the U.S. Burger King also was a sponsor of San Francisco's gay pride parade. Machado says that's the first time Burger King has sponsored a gay pride parade in the U.S., though it may have sponsored some outside the country.
All Proud Whopper sandwich sales, Machado says, will be donated to the Burger King McLamore Foundation for scholarships benefiting LGBT high school seniors graduating in spring 2015.

Food conglomerate General Mills, Nike, American Airlines and Facebook were set to sign onto anti-discrimination legislation known as the Equality Act, the companies said in statements obtained by TIME ahead of their release. The corporate giants, long supporters of gay rights, are joining peers Apple, Dow Chemicals and Levi Strauss in lobbying Congress for that legislation.
