All 379 Companies Fighting For Marriage Equality

by Jacqueline Derks

This week, an amicus brief has been sent to the Supreme Court by employers petitioning constitutional marriage equality. Of the 379 employers listed, some do business in states recognizing same-sex marriage; others do not. The brief was filed under the premise that it's difficult for companies operating in states without marriage equality to recruit employees and how this stunts economic growth. The document says that the "inconsistent and discriminatory state laws" are a "burden" that "breeds unnecessary confusion, tension, and diminished employee morale."

The concluding argument reads:

Employees with partners of the same sex should be permitted to marry if they so choose, and then should be treated identically to their married heterosexual counterparts.

We'll say.

Below is the full list of all employers who are listed as friends of the court and marriage equality.
