Marriott CEO: Anti-'gay' laws are not OK
WND ^ | 4/10/2016 | Staff

'We shouldn't judge people by ... who they love, what gender they identify with'

(Arne Sorenson, CEO of Marriott International)

For Arne Sorenson, CEO of Marriott International, it was an “easy call” when it came time to voice his opinion on North Carolina’s HB2, the nation’s first state law limiting the bathroom options for transgender people.

The law also excludes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from anti-discrimination protections, and blocks municipalities from adopting their own anti-discrimination and living wage rules.

In first-person opinion piece on CNBC, Sorenson wrote: “I was asked to join a group of American business leaders and CEOs in opposing North Carolina’s HB2, a bill passed recently that sanctions LGBT discrimination across that state.

“For Marriott and for me, this was an easy call. The law does not reflect our values or a basic principle that helps drive new jobs and economic growth in North Carolina and beyond: Everyone deserves to be welcome. We are disappointed with the unusual speed that was given to passing and signing this legislation into law, undoubtedly an attempt to minimize public outcry.

“Undeterred, I’m pleased to see that we are aligned with civil rights advocates, as well as most of the state’s top employers and job creators in calling for HB2 to be repealed. We’ve also heard a chorus of objections from major sporting leagues and organizers of popular North Carolina events, like the upcoming High Point Market Week that celebrates the state’s outstanding furnishings and design industry. At Marriott, we are also hearing from concerned customers and local employees.”

There are some plenty of homosexuals who are perverts. Google gay pride parades.

He can only regain it by rejecting perversion.

You were asking?

There is no dignity in sin. That applies to ANY sin. There is dignity only in repenting of sin and turning your life over to Christ. The obstinate sinner (as long as he remains an obstinate sinner) refuses to do this, hence throws away his dignity.

Yes, or a more gentle sign saying “our restrooms are open to any sex. Ensure children are always escorted while in our restrooms.”

You were using talk that, by logic, should be used about any sinner... including you.

Now that you are challenged, you throw in “obstinate” as a fig leaf caveat, but how do you know the complete lives of anyone who is involved?

As you judge, so will you be judged.

Here is my original post, with some emphasis added to aid your reading comprehension:

You can't steal a faggot's dignity. He has none, having thrown it away by his embrace of and identification with vile perversion. He can only regain it by rejecting perversion.

I have nothing further to say. I know that you can read and comprehend the English language. Whether you choose to do so, or not, is beyond me. May God abundantly bless you.

Arne not only wants to embrace perverts, but he loves to expand the Marriott chain in countries where dissidents are tortured and murdered.

It’s the LGBT way.

Screw Marriott!

Sorenson, demonstrated by his accompaniment of Obama to Cuba, is a perverted anti-American scumbag.

I, for one, will NEVER stay at a Marriott-owned property for the rest of my life. I believe my family and friends feel the same way now.

>> ‘We shouldn’t judge people by ... who they love, what gender they identify with’

Bogus premise. The imposition is against instinctive human nature.

Corps like Marriott are practicing fascism. Don’t patronize fascists.

Can’t wait to see what happens when Marriott opens a transgender bathroom in Saudi.
