Several large companies will stop participating in a national gay-rights group’s ranking of LGBTQ-friendly businesses and workplaces. Some of those retreating from the Human Rights Campaign’s annual index had been targeted by a conservative activist who said such policies could result in conservative customers financing practices they find objectionable, including “transition care for transgender children of employees.” Although their employee benefits and hiring practices might not change, Ford, Lowe’s, Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply, Molson Coors, and distiller Brown-Forman, maker of Jack Daniels, said they will no longer provide HRC with survey information. The companies did not elaborate on why they singled out HRC, but an HRC executive said the decision would hurt the companies’ long-term business. (Wall Street Journal— subscription)
