WASHINGTON – Gay and transgender workers were more likely than ever to receive domestic-partner health benefits last year, and more companies are adopting nondiscrimination policies to protect them, a leading gay- activist group reported.
But gays’ workplace gains have slowed since the ’90s, according to figures that the group, the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign, compiled for its annual “State of the Workplace” report. That’s probably because of the rising costs of health benefits. Social conservatives said their resistance to such efforts was a factor.
