Don't let that rainbow logo fool you, these 9 corporations donated millions to anti-gay politicians:

. The index ranks more than 1,000 companies according to their policies for LGBTQ employees and their public advocacy for LGBTQ causes. And in the scorecard, HRC gave 228 members of Congress the worst possible score: a zero. All of them voted to confirm anti-gay members of the Trump cabinet, voted to deny healthcare to transgender troops, and wouldn't sponsor or co-sponsor any legislation in support of LGBTQ rights.

It should be noted that after receiving a perfect score in 2018, GE, Comcast, Home Depot, FedEx and Verizon scored only a 90 on the 2019 CEI. "While the CEI [Corporate Equality Index] captures LGBTQ-inclusive policies, practices and benefits, there isn't a one-size fits all way to consistently score companies on the scope and impact of their political donations," said HRC national press secretary Sarah McBride in a statement to Popular Information.

It is important for reporting like this [to be done] that asks tough questions of corporations and brings these donations into the public discussion. The Corporate Equality Index is a critical tool for advancing LGBTQ equality in the workplace, but it is not the only tool."rom 2017 to 2018,2. UPS donated $2,366,122 to 159 anti-gay politicians.4. Home Depot donated $1,825,500 to 111 anti-gay politicians.6. FedEx donated $1,261,500 to 75 anti-gay politicians.8.
