About Buy4Equality

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Buying for Workplace Equality App is your guide to brands and products from businesses that support LGBTQ workplace equality — businesses that don’t discriminate based on sexual orientation and gender identity, that provide benefits for LGBTQ employees and their families and that respectfully market to or recruit employees from the LGBTQ community.

Based on the HRC Foundation's Corporate Equality Index rating (www.hrc.org/cei), businesses -- and their products -- are divided into red (brands that receive our lowest workplace quality scores), yellow (brands that have made some progress and receive moderate workplace equality scores) and green (brands that receive our highest workplace equality scores) categories to help consumers support businesses that have inclusive LGBTQ workplace policies.

Features:

- Find thousands of LGBTQ-friendly businesses and their products; search by shopping category or browse alphabetically.
- Browse distinct shopping categories like Food, Apparel, Household Products and Banking & Finance.
- View detailed information about each business’ rating of LGBTQ-inclusive workplace policies from the HRC Corporate Equality Index.
- E-mail, Tweet or post Facebook status messages about your favorite and least favorite brands to your friends and family.

Good App!

O70%
by O####:

Was really excited to download this but no matter what I do it says error with my search and to check if I'm connected to the internet. If I search by name, search by category, or click anything on the alphabetical list I get the same error even though I am connected to the internet. If I try to use my location it says I haven't provided a location even though my GPS is on =(

C70%
by C####:

Very poor location settings. I even put in national chain stores. Nothing found near me. The thing is saying closest location hours away. Not good unless you live in a high population area. Here in small town USA it does no good

A70%
by A####:

Doesn't work at all now. Just says there's an error or I didn't enter information. C'mon... Displeased.

Z70%
by Z####:

Never works. Always says there's no Internet connection. Galaxy S6 edge.

H70%
by H####:

I used to love this app. But it doesn't work at all anymore.

Z70%
by Z####:

Won't search, won't let me read the ready made lists. Uninstalling.

X70%
by X####:

If I try to search, or use the list on the right-side menu, all it tells me is there's an error and to check the Internet connection. This is just after I've been using the internet on this phone for hours.

Great app!

Z70%
by Z####:

I love this app. Let's me know what stores to support.

N70%
by N####:

It's pretty awesome. It'd be really cool if there was something like this that judged religious institutions.

M70%
by M####:

App does not load. Just says loading for 20 minutes. So can't use it to give it really any rating.

N70%
by N####:

Cannot use the app. Just says "Loading" but never does. Galaxy Note 2. Uninstalling.

N70%
by N####:

All I get is the loading sign, please fix this bug. I would like to use this app. Droid DNA.

N70%
by N####:

I support the HRC and would like to vote with my dollars, but this app won't open on the Samsung Note 3... it just shows a "loading" message that never completes.

N70%
by N####:

Stuck on loading. Not functional.

G70%
by G####:

Disappointing

L70%
by L####:

I'd like to support but app locks and never finishes loading. Samsung galaxy s3 and s4

N70%

Never loads.

K70%
by K####:

Concept: 5.0 Execution: 3.0 [-1 for failure to properly exit; -.0.5 forced intro on 1st use; -0.5 interface is somewhat clunky] Needed enhancements: 1. 'Near Me' function should not require entry of a company or brand as part of the search. I might, for example, want a full-spectrum search of all the things in my area as I am shopping or contemplating dinner. 2. Should have a social component for user input/ratings. Example: a restaurant chain I frequent has no rating because they won't respond to the CEI survey. However, the particular restaurant I frequent is EXTREMELY LGBT-friendly. There needs to be a way to communicate that to fellow users.

N70%
by N####:

It's great to know we can show support to the LGBT movement that has had and still has hate crimes. People are people whether gay or straight and until this nation has equal rights in all states let us support as much as possible.

N70%
by N####:

The idea behind this app means a lot to me. I will be sharing this with others. I do not mind that the interface is average and that the database is missing a few key companies... I love it. Bigots will get less money from me whereas real people will be getting more.

W70%
by W####:

Have been looking for HRC to finally release this as an app for ever! I was quite excited when I finally saw they released this, only to have cold water quickly thrown on that when I saw the app does nothing but hang on my Droid Charge. :-(

Great idea, but won't load on my phone

N70%

Glad to support the efforts for equality, and this app helps me know which companies and corporations deserve my support as well. Keep up the good work HRC!
