Is Tyson Foods really LGBTQ friendly?

Tyson Foods has made progress in recent years in terms of its equality and inclusion initiatives for LGBTQ+ employees, but it still has some work to do in order to achieve the top score from the CEI index by the Human Rights Campaign. In particular, the company lags behind in offering equivalency in same- and different-sex domestic partner medical and soft benefits for its employees.
