FWIW: this thread has been enlightening and I really appreciate the info all of the other posters (except bhrubin) have contributed.
I read the original post. I still find the query to be based on the faulty premise that somehow SPG was better than Marriott in working with and including LGBTQ persons. There is no evidence for that premise, other than the obvious judgment that Marriott hotels somehow must be or even might be less inclusive simply because the owner is Mormon. That is just as offensive as assuming a gay guest might be more problematic. Judgment and intolerance go in both directions, I'm afraid.

This is looking for--and reinforcing--a problem and stereotype in my view. I expressed that view. I'm sorry that all gay people don't have the same view or perspective that you do, but I do not. I therefore shared that sentiment. It's that simple.
