Hotel chain Marriott International, owned by the eponymous Mormon family, has signed up as an official sponsor of the 2014 Gay Games in Ohio, US – despite the fact the family’s religion considers homosexual relations a sin.
The Renaissance Hotel in downtown Cleveland, part of the Marriott portfolio, will act as the host hotel throughout the event – due to take place next August.
The hotel chain has previously experienced a boycott from the LGBT community, due to its association with the Mormon religion.
