My firm (a bigger player) openly recruits gay lawyers - each recruiting season they send around an email asking if those that are gay would agree to be listed for the purposes of both the firm being able to list the number of openly gay lawyers and to act as a mentor during the recruiting process.
By the way, on this whole subject of diversity, it is my understanding that it is not a problem of demand on the firms' part, but of supply. Not sure if this is because of disproportionately low number of minorities graduating from law school or a low number that meet the firms' hiring criteria (as adjusted for affirmative action).
