California hotels subject of homosexual boycott

Doug Manchester, owner of the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, made the political donation in support of Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment initiative appearing on the state's ballot in November. Now homosexual activists are calling for a boycott of that hotel and the Grand Del Mar in San Diego.
Randy Thomasson of the Campaign for California Families says the activists are being "mean spirited." "They are trying to grind a person into the dust, and they are really against free speech," he adds.
Thomasson suggests that Christians and pro-family people should turn the boycott around and support business that wish to remain family-friendly. "Look, there's more pro-family people in America and San Diego than there are homosexual activists," he contends. "[S]o we can vote with our dollars before we actually vote on the ballot." Thomasson argues that family and marriage advocates can effectively counter the boycott by spending their vacation dollars at either of the hotel facilities.
Manchester is one of several wealthy business owners who have donated to the campaign, which would overturn the California Supreme Court decision that legalized homosexual "marriage."
