Marriott – significant Mormon shareholder owned, board of directors, and executive management. Money to Marriott, goes to Mormons, Mormons who tithe. While the company may treat gay and lesbians fairly, it may be more a reflection of their competitors human resource policies than their own good will. It would be very difficult to attract gay/lesbian talent or customers if they didn’t match other hoteliers’ inclusive policies.

It is true that Marriott has not directly engaged in Prop 8 or other political fights against gay and lesbian equality. Their profits flowed to people who used that to fund a direct attack on my civil rights.

Significant Marriott profits go to salaries and shareholder wealth of Mormons who tithe to a church that spent millions taking away my rights. If you’re not familiar with Mormon’s great wealth and success in businesses such as Marriott, you might want to research it.

A boycott against Marriott is sound and I will follow it as well as declining to do business with other companies where large profits make their way to the Mormon church.
