GLAAD -- the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation -- won't participate in a scheduled "Pride Rocks" event at a hotel in San Diego this summer because the hotel's owner is helping fund an initiative to limit marriage rights in California.

GLAAD said it will continue to participate in “Pride Rocks” events at other Hyatt hotels nationwide, but not at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego which is owned by developer Doug Manchester.

Manchester contributed $125,000 to a drive to put a same-sex-marriage ban before voters in November.

"Mr. Manchester‘s decision to fund an initiative that would hurt loving, committed gay couples makes it impossible for us to continue to be associated with any promotion of his venue," said GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano in a press release.

In a previous interview with San Diego Union Tribune Manchester said he feels strongly that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but that he welcomes gays and lesbians to his hotel and restaurant.

Giuliano said in today's statement that he hopes that doesn't happen: "GLAAD strongly encourages members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to speak as one and to withdraw their support from this venue’s event as well."
