Points for Microsoft! Microsoft discusses how it's difficult to hire the best people to come work for it in a state that discriminates against them. This adds to my hypothesis that the LGBTQIA (too many acronyms now?) has a strong presence in the field of computer science. My computer graphics class last semester had quite a large portion of students from the university queer community, (I'm trying, like many of my other friends in the community, to take back that slur and make it a positive.) and I wonder if it has to do with the kind of mind and personality that is required for computer science or the atmosphere that makes it no big deal to come out.

Definite kudos to Microsoft. Maybe the whole corporate pressure influencing legislation will have a positive outcome this time.

Oh, frogs mentioned (came up with?) a good one for the many acronyms-- QUILTBAG. :D
