Publisher Description

THE BUSINESS RESPONSE TO REQUESTS FOR SAME-SEX BENEFITS "Same-sex marriage may seem revolutionary, but for American business, the idea truly is evolutionary." (Same-Sex Marriage: What's at Stake for Business). In 1990, Lotus, now a division of IBM, became the first publicly traded company to offer "spousal equivalent" benefits to the partners of lesbian and gay employees. (Id.) By 2000, the nation's Big Three automakers announced that they would offer full health benefits to same-sex domestic partners of their half million employees. (Auto Firms to Provide Same-Sex Benefits). United Airlines, American Airlines, and U.S. Airways also provide same-sex benefits. (Id.) Two hundred and eleven Fortune 500 companies--including almost three-fourths of the top 50, have begun providing same-sex benefits. (Same-Sex Marriage: What's at Stake for Business?)
