Wow Tami – what an angry person you seem to be. I commend anyone who sees the error in their ways and go out of their way to change the tide of their actions – i celebrate a “change of heart” in almost any situation with an altruistic outcome, and I certainly don’t waste my valuable time crucifying people who have openly apologized for their actions from the past. You stating that you’d rather be homeless then spend a night at this hotel? Are you joking? God forbid you ever find yourself in that situation…much like the people in Haiti and Chile are currently dealing with. I’m sure they’d give anything for just a night in shelter. How dramatic and more importantly – how distasteful. This is a fight for EQUALITY – not a fight to perpetuate negative feelings. I could write a novel about your comment but I’ll refrain —-

Bottom line is this.

Manchester contributed money to back a law that discriminated against Lesbians and Gays. THERE IS NO PASS FOR THAT, PERIOD! Contributing an equal amount to Lesbian and Gay causes doesn’t undue that DAMAGE that HE HELPED CAUSE!

How many families have literally been torn apart because of Prop 8? He and his “kind” helped split families up. And the pain from that can’t be undone with a cry of “mea culpa” by “Dougie.” Kelly Commerford sounds like another self loathing gay man trying to explain away the UNEXPLAINABLE!

The boycott should continue until Prop 8 is gone. And even then, I’d rather be HOMELESS than spend one night in the Grand Manchester Hyatt.

Congrats to someone actually highlighting positive change in others and FINALLY spelling out the fact that Manchester Grand Hyatt is a “Hyatt” property OWNED by Doug Manchester and that he has nothing to do with the day to day interactions. Bravo for spelling out that Manchester Grand Hyatt has 300 out of about 1050 employees that are LGBT. That they are proud of their long-standing record on diversity, inclusion and Domestic Partner Benefits. That they continue to receive accolades and accreditation from a myriad of LGBT organizations and media outlets, including a 100% equality rating from HRC and inclusion in their “Best Places to Work” list six years running, and Advocate’s “Top-Ten Gay Friendly Employers in America.” – It’s about time that we heard from an EMPLOYEE of Grand Manchester Hyatt to set the record straight… Thank you Cherry Grrl – this protesting for the “Unions” under the guise of crucifying Manchester for something he has apologized for is/was getting a bit ridiculous…
