A national human rights organization on Tuesday gave Coors Brewing Co. a perfect score for its treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees.

Coors was the only Colorado company to receive the highest marks and one of only 138 corporations in the nation to receive a perfect score.

The Human Rights Campaign of Washington, D.C., said the number of companies with a top rating of 100 percent rose from 101 last year. The organization has been tracking how gay-friendly corporate America is since 2002.

Coors has improved its standing since the first survey, when it was scored an 86 in 2002 and again in 2003. Coors has earned the top mark in each of the past three years.

1. Man that's the truth

I mean, ya want to do the right thing and all but no way can I drink that stuff.

Actually, I am surprised that the company is that fair. Considering the founding families political bent and all.

4. Queer Beer

I would think the queer beer is michelobe ultra. It doesn't satisfy my beer cravings however.

5. I boycotted Coors since 1979 (as a good upstanding lesbian)

but have lifted my ban since they seem to be acting better. Coors Light (say, at a Nats game) is surprisingly good!
