Gay rights and union advocates have begun boycotting the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego after its owner, Doug Manchester, donated $125,000 to a ballot measure that would end same-sex marriage in California, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

The hotelier's contribution to the proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot struck a nerve among supporters of marriage equality.

Fred Karger, an organizer of the boycott, told the Union-Tribune, "This is someone who is giving an exorbitant amount of money to write discrimination into the Constitution for the very first time."

Activists were joined by Unite Here Local 30, which represents 4,500 San Diego-area hotel and restaurant workers.

The Manchester Grand Hyatt is not unionized, the Union-Tribune reported.

  • I think its interesting that Unions and Gays have something in common; their both boycotting Hyatt.

    Its obviously not big news to anyone.

  • "Actually, the Democratic party is the party of Trail Lawyers, Union Organizers, and Homosexuals. Ask Hilliary."

    Do you really think I give a flying F what you think?


    Go crawl back into the hole you came from.
