[QUOTE=kudzu;10016026Analogy: Bill Marriott is a Mormon who heads the hotel chain. The Mormon Church is anti-gay. As a good Mormon, Bill Marriott probably tithes annually. Even though there is no allegation of discrimination at a Marriott hotel, should we boycott the Marriott chain just because the owner gives to his church which is anti-gay?[/QUOTE]

For me personally, the answer always was "yes". Up until this year, my job required 100% travel and my hotels choices for the past 10 years were Hyatt, Sheraton, Hilton and then as last resort Marriott. The latter because of the Mormon issue.
