INDUSTRY WATCH
AT THE PUMP
W
hich industry has nearly the worst response rate out of the 40 industries in the HRC Foundation’s annual Corporate Equality Index? Despite repeated invitations and encouragement to participate, only eight companies in the oil & gas industry have returned their surveys and are listed with official ratings in the CEI report. (The other 21 companies have unofficial scores, noted in gray in the report and at right.) The companies may think they can fly under the watchful eyes of LGBT consumers — since you won’t find all of their names at the pump — but these businesses are still accountable to their LGBT employees and should be filling out their surveys. The CEI survey is sent to official company representatives in March, with completed surveys due back to HRC staff in August for review. Scores are published in the fall. Help us rope in more oil & gas participants in next year’s survey.

Like Our Bodies, Ourselves — the groundbreaking book on women’s health and sexuality first published in 1973 — the new Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is making the personal political and empowering countless readers. Researched, written and compiled by and for transgender and gender-nonconforming people, the book is helping to inform the entire country. “For trans people, and especially for our allies, this book is an incredible resource,” says Jay Brown, the HRC Foundation’s director of program strategies. “It’s also strong in its inclusion of essays that explore trans people at the intersection of multiple identities — including people of color, disability advocates and immigrants — who are facing some of the most critical challenges in the community.” Trans Bodies, Trans Selves offers unprecedented breadth and depth of information and personal testimony in a single volume.
