Marriott Asks Arizona Governor To Veto Anti-Gay Bill

Marriott sent a letter to Ariz. Governor Jan Brewer (R) Monday asking her to veto SB 1062, a controversial bill that would allow businesses to deny service to lesbian and gay customers.

The letter, a portion of which was posted on Twitter by Buzzfeed's Chris Geidner, urged Brewer to exercise her veto power in connection with SB 1062 on the grounds that it "would have profound negative impacts on the hospitality industry in Arizona and on the state's overall economic climate for years to come. Both of Arizona's representatives in the U.S. Senate, Sen. John McCain (R) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R), have also asked Brewer to veto the bill.

Marriott did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the letter from Business Insider.
