Anti-gay Hotel - Affordable Suites of America - Blasted

By Michael Leon No comments

Affordable Suites hotel says it has a policy of not renting rooms to gay couples, reports AMERACAblog.com.

The bigoted policy, breaking over the D.C. area press, is drawing wide-spread criticism from civil rights groups. Readers interested in discussing this policy can contact Affordable Suites of America, Inc at:
PO Box 3030
Pawleys Island, SC 29585
843-235-8899

This writer urges a call from your cell phone (this weekend while you are having fun, leave a message if you get a voicemail) and afterwards, wherever you live, over and over again alert Affordable Suites of America, Inc. that its exclusionary, hateful policy is one that it can no longer afford to maintain, and one which will not blow over after a few weeks:
(843) 235-8899.

"Rob Kall's Bottom Up is a revaluation of values, not the empty mouthing of the word 'democracy' that is so common, but the application of belief in popular wisdom to every aspect of life. Actually believing that the views of more people is better, means a new way of thinking about the world that is democratic, feminist, localist, populist, and radically richer than the elitist perspectives that are more common even in the parts of the world that shout the word 'democracy' the most. Here we come to understand both the power of small groups and the upsides to internet crowd sourcing, the potential of nonviolent movements and ways in which the past has not been what we supposed. Don't just read this book; get lots of people to read and talk about it."

David Swanson, host, Talk Nation Radio, author of War No More: The Case for Abolition.
