Industry sources have suggested that gay male and lesbian consumers are extremely loyal to companies that incorporate them in their internal corporate policies and develop gay-oriented marketing practices. However, academic research provides little guidance about factors that may influence the importance that gay consumers’ place on different types of gay-oriented corporate activities with evaluating the "gay-friendliness" of a company. This research explores the influence of gay identity and gender on gay consumers’ perceptions of the gay-friendliness of gay-oriented corporate activities, both internal and external to the firm.
