Therefore, this statement that Sandals is discriminatory is surprising.
This may be outdated but:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/gayrights/...970455,00.html. If you google it, most travel sites selling accommodations/packages to Sandals resorts say "Sandals resort's policy does not allow singles, and same sex couples cannot share the same accommodations. This resort caters to male-female couples only." Again, that could be outdated.
They do promote Beaches Resorts as the resort for singles, couples and families but Sandals is, as I understand it, for adult heterosexual couples only. And I disagree with discrimination in general because everyone should have a choice. IMHO, discriminating in the name of "appeal[-ing] to the majority" is exactly what the backers of the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) are trying to achieve.
