For the second consecutive year, Comcast and NBCUniversal were proud to receive an award for scoring 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2014 Corporate Equality Index.

It's an honor to be recognized with a 100% rating on HRC's CEI as we strive to become best-in-class for LGBT inclusion among our employees, customers, and community," said Cecilia.
