A while back I read about a (self-)righteous religious jackass who made a very vocal declaration that he was not going to buy a Ford SUV because they scored so high (a 100) in an independent study on homosexual-partner benefits for employees and were, in union trade rags, rather proud of that.
So the little shit goes and buys an SUV from GM...who also scored a 100. Go Fig.
Well, Ed Brayton has published a summary of all of the companies that the (self-)righteous must avoid in order to be sure they're not advancing the "Gay Agenda" of equality.
From about half-way down, things get REALLY silly...:

Finances are gonna be damn near impossible. Want to find a hetero-normative mortgage? Good luck. Bank of America, Citigroup, Countrywide, JP Morgan Chase, Fannie Mae, Indy Mac, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo all scored 100. Need a morally upstanding credit card? Avoid American Express, Mastercard and Visa; all got perfect scores. Can't do Discover either, since they're owned by Morgan Stanley and damn if they didn't get a 100 as well.The whole post is fantastic.
Banking in general is gonna be a real problem for the Righteous, and you might as well give up on any thought of investing your money or saving for retirement. Bank of America, Bear Stearns, Capital One Financial, Charles Schwab, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia - all get perfect scores on the Sodomy Scale. I guess that leaves the old coffee can under the bed, but you'll have to make sure it isn't Maxwell House or Gevalia; they're both owned by Kraft Foods which, you guessed it, got a perfect score too.
