Abercrombie Noted for Being 100% LGBT Friendly!

For its 2012 Corporate Equality Index, the Human Resources Campaign has listed Abercrombie & Fitch as a company that is 100% LGBT friendly. The rating signifies companies that "reflect equal health coverage for all LGBT employees and their families, including full parity for domestic partner benefits not only in the basic medical coverage, but in dependent care, retirement, and other benefits that affect families' financial and medical well-being." It is just another great quality of A&F as a modern, progressive business in the greater scope of the world.

You can check out the official report from the HRC (here). It's 94 pages long if you care to know. LOL.

The shots in this post are from the A&F Quarterly Screen Test edition from Back-to-School 2010. Really beautiful photography by the master Bruce Weber. His photography is also known for a romanticism of homoeroticism (much of which is affiliated with Abercrombie & Fitch). It is work which admires, not just homoeroticism, but generally all forms of the idealized, unbound comradeship and romance of youth...and that is what A&F is all about.

Stay FIERCE!
