Hyatt

hello all!

I was doing some resort shopping and noticed that the Hyatt chain is offering a year of "pride" promotions. It was nice to see a picture of two men, obviously a couple, on the main "specials and packages" page!

GO HYATT!

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

yeah!

Wow! That's terrific! Hyatt hotels can be really nice. Good to know that they are inclusive too.

I really don't want to get into politics here, but you should know many LGBT groups are boycotting Hyatt hotels because they are anti-LGBT. This is marketing only, they only want your money.

I won't post the links, but if you googled 'sleepwiththerightpeople' you'd find out more. I've even been a part of a flash mob that stormed a Hyatt lobby to protest their anti-LGBT policies, check out youtube for a video called 'bad hotel'.

Again, I'm not posting links as to run a foul of the DIS rules, I'm posting this because there is a strong effort of LGBT groups right now to show how truly awful Hyatt really is, and Hyatt doesn't deserve our support.

Hmmn...intriguing.

I actually don't care about the motivations that drive a chain to market to LGBT folk if they do it well and actually provide the welcome that they are advertising.

It takes money and support to make changes. So, if a marketing scheme brings in money then it's likely to create permanent change. And, anything that provides positive images of same sex couples is a good thing, in my book.

Once change happens, it's tough to reverse regardless of individual prejudices.

Strange about Hyatt. The HRC Buyers Guide gives them 100.

Sounds good to me! Wally and I can be packed by the 26th! We are taking a road trip to Disneyland right?

OMG! Wouldn't that be wicked?!

It would have to be in a convertible, and I'M DRIVING!
