Christmas season is officially here and you know what that means – it’s time to shop. From the moment Thanksgiving dinner is over until Christmas Eve, holiday shoppers are out at their peak, jumping from store to store, browsing from one aisle to the next, crossing off items on Santa’s list as they go. But there’s one thing LGBT consumers can keep in mind this holiday season as they dish out dollars to companies that live for this time of year: Supporting businesses that support you. Now more than ever, LGBT consumers can support businesses that support workplace equality and LGBT inclusion. With the help of the Human Rights Campaign’s Buyer’s Guide, there’s an easy way to keep track of which businesses are worthy of your holiday spending. Below take a look at stores with scores of 90 and higher based on the results from the 2014 Corporate Equality Index, LGBT-related policies, benefits and corporate practices. To learn the scores of other places you may be planning to shop, download HRC’s Buyer’s Guide phone app, available for iPhone and Android. Shoppers can also view the HRC Buyer’s Guide here.
