Who Doesn't Love a Good 'Ol Boycott. Owner of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, Doug Manchester, is being slammed by Gay Right Supporters. Seems that Doug contributed $125,000 to Proposition 8, an amendment to ban same-sex marriage on the November ballot, which is not sitting well with the gays.Organizers of the campaign, which is expected to be announced at a news conference today, say they believe it is the first time that gay rights supporters have boycotted a business whose owner seeks to ban same-sex marriage.
Leaders will urge the public to avoid the downtown hotel because they say that support for Proposition 8 amounts to unfair treatment of gays and lesbians.
“Manchester's contribution to this anti-marriage initiative is discrimination plain and simple,” said Brigette Browning, president of Unite Here Local 30, which represents 4,500 hotel and restaurant workers. [SOURCE]
Hmmm.. We will have to keep our eyes on this boycott and see how it does. I agree! Why should i give my money to a company who is against my rights. I hope this has a negative impact on the hotel!!! Is That Bad To Say?
