Yet, Marriott is privately held and the family that owns it are LDS. What I do NOT know is if the family was a contributor to Prop 8. They don't obviously appear in donor records. They've also been in trouble with the Church over other issues (porn in the rooms) before. I think one should have evidence of their contribution, not just guilt by association.

BTW, for the fabulous among you...Marriott also owns Ritz Carlton.
Well they are listed as targets on the Equality for all Group list along with Alberston's, Priceline, Oakley (sunglasses) La Quinta and the list goes on.
