Exxon Rejects LGBT Inclusion But Over 1/3 of Shareholders Now Backing it
For the seventh consecutive year shareholders at ExxonMobil's annual meeting have voted down a proposal to include LGBT workers in the company's anti-discrimination policy.

<...>

This year <b>34.6 percent</b> of shares voted in favor of the policy, <i>an increase from 29.4 percent in 2005</i>.

<...>

ExxonMobil is the only major U.S. company to rescind a non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation.

I will never spend another red dime at ExxonMobil. I've been ExxonMobil-free for six years and counting!
