That’s the conclusion of the Human Rights Campaign which has produced its 2011 “Buying Guide for Workplace Equality.”

The report lists hundreds of U.S. companies according to their support and non-support for “gay,” lesbian, bisexual and transgender causes. The scale is from zero to 100, with those closest to zero being firms that are not supportive of homosexual policies, and those nearest 100 being very “gay”-friendly.

The criteria include anti-discrimination protections, domestic partner benefits, diversity training and transgender-inclusive benefits.

The HRC notes that some companies, including Pep Boys, have refused to voluntarily participate in the group’s survey, but they were ranked nonetheless based on publicly available data.

Consumers can view the report in full either in a PDF format, or by selecting individual company names or categories that include apparel; automotive; banking and finance; entertainment; food; fun and games; health and beauty; home and garden; household products; insurance and health care; kids; newsstand; oil and gas; pet care; restaurants; retailers; shipping; technology; and travel and leisure.
