Does the Marriott Hotel support 'gay cures'? They're again hosting a conference for a leading 'gay cures' group, the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).

The American Psychological Association says that 'gay cures' have "serious potential to harm young people".

1. Mittwit is on the Marriott board

The Marriott family are big-time Mormons. Most Marriotts have a Book of Mormon in the drawer next to the Gideon Bible. What do you think?

2. Ah yes, the Mittwit connection -- I'd forgotten all about that

Didn't know the Marriotts were Mormons, either.

3. Maybe everybody else told them to just fuck off.

4. Get what this 'NARTH' group says:

Why is NARTH so opposed by some gay activists?

We can only speculate. However, it seems to us that it relates to activists’ desire to make the designation of LBGT conflate with the status of other minority groups. If their orientation is not viewed as immutable or absolute, then the question arises if it should be equally conflated with race, sex, etc. NARTH’s activities are apparently seen as a threat to the “immutability” argument. Anyone following these issues in the media will see the term “immutable” repeated often. In addition, some may oppose us because they dispute our general view of same-sex attractions as a developmental adaptation."

Another FAQ is about religion...are they religious. Look at their featured speakers. ALL THREE claim religious leaning or training or bent.
