Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 06:24:32 -1000 From: lambda@aloha.net (Martin Rice) Subject: SA 009: Marriott Hotels--Gay-friendly? Aloha kakahiaka kakou. Received this very detailed, eye-popping and informative reply from buddy Jeff Harris in Seattle (JPH@Halcyon.com) in response to a question posed about the gay-friendliness of Marriott Hotels . . . . A big MAHALO, Jeff! Hio Martin- J. Williard Marriott founded the closely held family corporation. His sons now control the hotel, airline-food-catering empire. I can't confirm or rebuke any claims about how gay friendly the corporation is. I can affirm that members of the Marriott family have strong ties with the L.D.S. Church leadership in Salt Lake City. I suggest you follow the money. Here is a list of individual Marriott family political contributions and Marriott Family Pac contributions reported to the FEC. Needless to say, the Human Rights Campaign is *NOT* among them.
