American Demographics, July 1, 2001
Gay consumers like their banks online. According to a recent poll conducted by Harris Interactive and Witeck-Combs Communications Inc., 51 percent of self-identified lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered (LGBT) consumers prefer their financial institutions to offer services via the Internet, citing online presence as a key factor in their choice of institution. This group is also considerably influenced by whether or not a financial institution has an anti-discrimination policy: 57 percent consider such a policy to be a determinant when choosing a bank. (By the way, 49 percent of heterosexuals feel the same.)
