Corporate Equality Index
In 2006, Perot Systems was one of three companies, of 1,520 surveyed, to receive the lowest possible rating on the Corporate Equality Index survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign. In 2009, the company was one of only two to receive a zero ranking in the survey, which evaluates "employers and their policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees". The company previously offered domestic partner benefits to its employees, under a policy which was canceled in 1998. In the 2006 ranking, Perot was cited for " in action that would undermine the goal of equality". Dell, on the other hand, has been ranked with a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index for 2010.

““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control.

“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
“Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
