Wal-Mart continues to come in very low on the Corporate Equality Index 2008 which assess companies on how they go about treating their gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgenderlinks (GBLT) workers. Criteria covered include domestic partner benefits, non-discrimination policies, respectful behaviors towards the GBLTY community and appropriate and respectful advertising and marketing, even sponsorship of GBLT events or organizations.

Wal Mart scored a rating of 40 out of 100 and the HRC is reported saying that America's biggest employer "has more work to do in furthering equality".

The HRC says Wal Mart is actually going backwards and gays are being advised to take their business elsewhere. That community is estimated to have $723-billion of buying power.

It's not just that community either. The Wall Street Journal carries an appalling story about Wal Mart suing a brain damaged employee.
