Honda Takes the First Step - Not "Gay-Friendly" Yet

Monday, March 10, 2008 - Automotive News reported today that American Honda is now offering insurance benefits for their same-sex partners. Gaywheels.com applauds this decision but will not be changing Honda's classification as non-gay-friendly, yet.

The article points out that while Honda will be rolling out these benefits to some of their U.S.-based employees, not all employees of the company will have access to the same benefits. Gaywheels.com's classification for "gay-friendly" applies when all employees of a company in the U.S. are offered same-sex domestic-partner benefits.

This situation is similar to that of Nissan North America and BMW when they first began offering domestic-partner benefits. Both companies rolled out the benefit package for their sales and marketing employees first and offered them to their manufacturing employees at a later date.

Gaywheels.com looks forward to adding both Honda and Acura to their gay-friendly list when all employees of those brands have same-sex domestic partner benefits available to them in the U.S.
