Marriott promoting discounts to gay couples

The Marriott hotel chain is known for its comfortable rooms and amenities. But in addition to a plethora of appeasing services, the popular company also offers value packages to individuals who are gay. Curiously, numerous hotels within the Marriott chain offer what they call “OUT” packages.

At the Renaissance Washington Marriott in Washington, D.C., for instance, the deal includes chocolate covered strawberries, sparking wine upon arrival and a copy of NaviGaytour Magazine, among other benefits. ...

The main thrust of the deals seem to be predicated upon an urge to attract a gay customer base, while distinguishing the company as particularly diverse and accepting.

Stayed at a Courtyard last year. No Book of Mormon.

Maybe it was stolen.

[MtBaldy]

Have stayed at a number of them in the past. Won’t be staying there in the future.

Memo to self: Bring along extra socks to wear in the room to keep off the rug’s DNA

I remembered 32 years ago when Marriott gave officer candidates attending OCS in Quantico a weekend special of 2 men to a room with a 6-pack of beer for $20.

For the following 30 years when I had the opportunity, I chose Marriott over their competitors.

No longer.

Hey! How about some banana flavored jockey shorts, and a tube of KY jelly?

[JediJones]

Gee, doesn’t make sense at all, knowing how hard Romney fought to stop the invention of homosexual marriage in his state. /sarc

If anyone stays there, they’ll have to check the pillows for bite marks..

The main thrust of the deals seem to be predicated upon an urge...

_______________________________

The main THRUST of the deals seem to be predicated upon AN URGE......

I guess the queers and progressives at the Marriot want to join in on AN URGE to THRUST with the customers and fudge pack.

I sure would not want to sleep on their sheets or mattresses after they left....even if they were washed 5 times.

This is another way we continuously engage in lying for the Lord ... just the way that Joseph Smith did ... by saying one thing and doing another ... because it generates lots of much appreciated money to help sustain our vast secret corporate empire!

---

Marriott promot[es] discounts to gay couples ... and is one of the largest of distributors porn in the world through its pay-per-view operations ... and is one of the largest dispensers of alcoholic beverages in the world through its vast network of bars ... and has extensive casino operations worldwide ... and is closely tied to the Mormon Church ... and is considered by many to be one of the Church's largest and most profitable commercial ventures.

This is something to remember the next time a Saint pounds on the table and boasts that his Church is honorable and filled with godly people because it denounces smoking, drinking and vice.

[Perdogg]

I either stay at the Four Seasons or at the Hilton.

[Kazan]

Are free HIV tests included for each stay?

[AnTiw1]

I wonder how many Republicans are blind to Romney’s liberalism simply because its so dark in their closet ;^)

[onedoug]

Unconstitutional. But try and find a court that would declare it so.

[fatnotlazy]

I stay anywhere cheap. I’ll even stay at Motel 6. A comfortable bed and working plumbing are all I really need.

John Willard Marriott (September 17, 1900 – August 13, 1985) was an American entrepreneur and businessman. He was the founder of the Marriott Corporation (which became Marriott International in 1993).

Marriott was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and sought to share the church’s teachings with others by placing a copy of the Book of Mormon in each hotel room, alongside a copy a Gideon Bible—a tradition that has endured. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Willard_Marriott

John Willard “Bill” Marriott, Jr. (born March 25, 1932) is the Chairman of Marriott International. Marriott is the son of Alice Marriott and J. Willard Marriott, the founder of Marriott International.

He is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In an episode of 60 Minutes airing on April 7, 1996 Marriott was interviewed by Mike Wallace regarding his faith alongside football star, Steve Young, and church leader, Gordon B. Hinckley.[2] In 1997 Marriott was called by the church to be an Area Authority Seventy and member of the Fifth Quorum of the Seventy.[3] This was split in 2004 and Marriott joined the newly-created Sixth Quorum of the Seventy, serving until his release on October 1, 2011.

On December 13, 2011, Marriott announced that he will assume the role of Executive Chairman of the company and relinquish the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective March 31, 2012 to Arne Sorenson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Willard_Marriott

If I can get 20% off, HELL YEAH IM GAY!

And my WIFE is TOO!

[Theodore R.]

We’re not blind to Romney’s liberalism, but when GHWB, George W., Barbara, and Jebbie say get on board, we must do so! I don’t think Laura has spoken yet. Could she be for Obama?

[WinOne4TheGipper]

If I’m a polygamist, do I get a multi-room discount?

[miss marmelstein]

They will live to regret this, lol. Drunk and high gay men make for a lot of loud music, fights, and smashed mirrors.

[Graybeard58]

Is Milt still associated with Marriot?
