I try to patronize only LGBT friendly companies when I can. Here are

two that I use a lot as does my partner, CVS and Wells Fargo.

Wells Fargo I discovered by accident, and I just happened to check CVS now, and found they are LGBT friendly too.

I absolutely try to never patronize hater companies whenever I can.

We moved to a county that is LGBT friendly and also registered as domestic partners in a gay friendly city. To me, that is important for many reasons, the greatest being I see that as a mark of enlightened progressiveness, looking toward the future. I just think it brings with it a lot of things that really do not have anything directly to do with LGBT. For one example, I think an LGBT friendly company probably cares about all of its employees, etc.

I am really fed up with haters in life.

Wells Fargo is a financial predator that is participating in the looting of the American middle and working class.

You might consider looking at a credit union that actually serves it customers.

It doesn't makse sense to give a pass to seriously flawed institutions, just because they are gay friendly.

This wells fargo PR is likely.. "subculture urban marketing" and it's many incarnations.
