San Diego developer plans 50-story hotel east of Austin Convention Center

Doug Manchester, the owner of Manchester Group hotels, is a bigot who donated to keep same-sex marriage away from California. Austin has made a name for itself as a town of love and acceptance. I hope and pray that the SXSW attendees spread the word of his bigtory -- and, more importantly, financing of bigotry - and don't stay there and give him the money to spend on denying classes of citizens their civil rights. It would be a bad move for Austin to support this guy. There must be someone who isn't financing hate campaigns who could build a hotel?
