Step1

Start your search at the Gay Financial Network (gfn.com). You'll find hundreds of articles that profile companies and rate their gay-friendliness.

Step2

Stay with the Gay Financial Network awhile longer and check out its message boards. Take the time to post a message with any specific questions you have, then go back to see if anyone answers you.

Step3

Find out the latest on shareholder activism that's making a difference at major companies by looking at the Equality Project site (equalityproject.org).

Step4

Find businesses in your area by looking at the local online gay guide, if there is one. Find a pretty good list of guides at GayGuide.Net.

Tips & Warnings

There's nothing stopping you from calling or e-mailing a business directly and asking if it is gay-friendly. Many will answer you. If a company is not willing to answer your questions, don't waste your time with it.
