20070416Fortune500 In 2005, there were 460 companies choosing to do the right thing. Last year, there were 461. But now the good folks at Equality Forum are reporting that a record 470 (94%) of the 2007 Fortune 500 companies volunatirly include sexual orientation in their employment nondiscrimination policies:

A nice development, for sure. But what we really want to know is: Out of the 30 non-compliant companies, whose male executives are most likely acting out of fear that their names are already too gay-sounding?

Graybar Electric ("Uhm, did you say 'gay bar,' dude?")
BJ Services (too obvious)

And the runner up:

Pilgrimpride
Pilgrim's Pride
