Under public pressure, D.C. Doubletree/Hilton Hotels boots homosexual organization from conference rooms; concern that public sadomasochistic sex would present health hazards to others, including hotel staff
-- From "D.C. Hotel, Under Pressure, Cancels ’Pig Sex’ Party" by Steve Weinstein, [pro-homosexual] EDGE Editor-In-Chief 1/17/09
Americans for Truth About Homosexuality . . . is claiming something it hasn’t been able to do for some time: a victory over the gay menace. AFTAH has announced that the downtown Washington, D.C., hotel has cancelled a ’pig sex orgy’ scheduled during Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend, this weekend (Jan. 16).
"This is a great victory for truth, decency and public health!" [Peter] LaBarbera wrote on his website. "Americans For Truth is vindicated (lies coming from the hotel had many people confused). A big ’Thanks’ to each of you who called the Doubletree and its parent company, Hilton Hotels, urging them to not allow this unbelievably depraved and unhealthy homosexual event to occur in public conference rooms at the Doubletree, a luxurious hotel just blocks from the White House."
LaBarbera said he had contacted the Doubletree’s sales director, who confirmed the lease to a group with the name on the email. The employee also told him that he hadn’t heard of any sex parties. He said such events could not be held in the hotel’s conference rooms, because they are a "public space," LaBarbera said.
Pam Spaulding, on her blog, broke the news that the private group sponsoring the party had to cancel it.
"As many of you know, extreme Christian groups have been pressuring Doubletree to cancel the ’Obama Inauguration Pig Sex Orgy,’" the organizers wrote, according to Spaulding. "For two days, the hotel stood firm while the accusations and falsehoods kept coming in. Just this morning, I told the management of Doubletree how impressed I was that they resisted the calls to shut us down. Unfortunately, the matter escalated to Doubletree Corporate, and the word has come down that they will not allow our event to go on as planned. To say that I am pissed would be an understatement. We have a right to privacy and sexual freedom. I appreciate the efforts of the Centaurs in helping us set this up and fight the cancellation."
EDGE has received no word on whether anyone has set up an alternative event anywhere else.
