Actual, but not punitive damages may be all that can be awarded.

I've heard they're pretty good about our issues. The Fundies tried to boycott them to get them to give up protections for their gay employees, and they didn't cave. 2) Your "proof" has nothing to do with gay issues (though I agree about not liking the software or the business practices that put them in a dominant position in the market). >Microsoft is one of the MOST homophobic companies in the world!!

Alan Turing broke the German Enigma Code, by inventing a computer that broke the code, his machine was responsible for ending WW2 two years early, saving approximately 13 million peoples lives, enabled our solders to come home early, not to mention their offspring and their offshoots. The greatest hero in recorded history was a gay man, who is the father of the modern computer. I would send that in emails around the offices, and tell them all, if it wasn't for a gay man they wouldn't even have a job!
