Domestic Partnership Benefits and the States
When the Human Rights Campaign began tracking companies offering domestic partnership benefits in 1989, the list comprised less than two dozen entities. Today, there are more than 8000 American companies offering domestic partnership benefits, including roughly 230 of the Fortune 500 companies.
