Outdoor retailer REI, founded by a group of Pacific Northwest mountaineers in 1938, on Monday announced it has taken “a position in support of marriage equality.”
The announcement came in a blog post to REI’s 11,000 employees by CEO Sally Jewel, who wrote, “REI is taking a position in support of marriage equality — an issue that is important to the co-op as an inclusive organization and a welcoming place to work and do business.”
Jewell said that “sixteen years from now, when I expect to be celebrating my 50th wedding anniversary, I sincerely hope that there will be millions more of a new generation for whom 50 years of marriage will become a possibility through these changes in our legal system.”
