I can testify from many years of working with High Tech Gays (HTG) to get antidiscrim policies in individual companies and antidiscrim laws at a county level ... creating change in large companies can take years.
Ironically, it often doesn't take a large effort, just persistence. I've seen huge companies in Silicon Valley activate antidiscrim policies after just one person went to HR and enquired. (Usually, it takes several trips to HR and to senior execs to get the message across ... but just one person can make a tremendous difference.)
