Gay friendly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gay friendly refers to places, policies, people or institutions that actively seek to create an environment friendly towards LGBT people. This is typically a late 20th century North American term that was the byproduct of both a gradual recognition of gay rights and acceptance of gay-friendly policies in the workplace and in schools, as well as the recognition of gays and lesbians as a distinct consumer group for businesses.
Examples of Gay friendly companies include Dell Inc. and Coca-Cola Company who are noted for gay-friendly work environments, and KJ Beckett, Ginch Gonch and Egotour who are seen to offer niche products and services for gay customers.
