Business Seeks Gay Employees and Customers, While Governments Tend to Promote Hatred and Oppression
The Dollar Packs a Lot of Weight
It can be really interesting to observe how people react when they reap the benefits and bear the costs of their own actions, compared to how they react when they can benefit at the expense of others and force others to bear the costs of their preferences. This article on the different behavior toward gay people of business and government is instructive. (Caveat for finicky readers: although I don’t endorse all of the things the author favors, he has identified an important trend.)

I guess offering "domestica partner coverage" makes sense for the large majority of companies and I don't see any potentially troubling moral issues there from a conservative perspective.
What is unnacceptable (and I guess not endorsed by TP) is any "anti-discrimination" legislation that interferes with private sector employment decisions.
