Many companies also have policies that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. Another concern for gay and lesbian students is whether their employer will offer medical and other benefits to their same sex partner. The City of San Francisco is currently the only U.S. jurisdiction that requires companies to offer benefits to both same and opposite sex partners. The San Francisco ordinance requires that any firm doing business with the city must provide such benefits. The lists below show companies that offer domestic partner benefits.
Some large companies have gay and lesbian employee groups.
These groups can provide additional support to gay and lesbian employees. Please see this list of firms with such groups .
