Just in time to inform your holiday season buying, the Human Rights Campaign has release its 2015 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The CEI is meant to inform the LGBT community and beyond about those organizations that support equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. We took a gander at the list, picked ten “shop ’til you drop” stores, and ten “don’t take something for free” anti-LGBT retailers. Shop ’til you drop retailers got a perfect score of 100, and the anti-LGBT retailers scored below 60 points on the CEI. Read ’em, cheer and jeer.
