Room & Board Comes Out Against Minnesota Inequality Amendment

Furniture retailer Room & Board is the latest Minnesota-based company to come out against the state’s proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, joining Capella University, Thomson-Reuters, General Mills, and St. Jude Medical. The furniture store released the following statement:

Room & Board is dedicated to helping customers create homes they love. We recognize that the joy found in one’s home extends far beyond our surroundings to the people with whom we spend our lives. To that end, we have long supported efforts dedicated to strengthening home and family. We oppose the amendment to the Minnesota Constitution banning marriage for same-sex couples.

Each and every day we celebrate diversity. We take pride in providing a progressive, balanced and positive work environment that is based on trust, fairness and respect. This core philosophy shapes the relationships we have with our customers, vendor partners and employees.

Our holistic wellness approach supports the well-being of our employees and their loved ones. We have offered domestic partnership benefits for nearly 20 years. Please join us in recognizing the strength of inclusion by voting ‘No’ this November.”
