Marriott International Launches #LoveTravels with Sen. Baldwin, Parents of Matthew Shepard

Wednesday night at the Mayflower, Marriott International launched it’s new multicultural campaign – #LoveTravels – conveying its commitment to traveler comfortability. In celebration of Capital Pride, Marriott introduced the new initiative through the lens of photographer Braden Summers with Brooklyn Nets’ Jason Collins and transgender fashion model and social advocate Geena Rocero, among other LGBT influencers.

Notable guests included Judy and Dennis Shepard (parents of Matthew Shepard) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). At the event, Collins presented Judy and Dennis Shepard with a signed number 98 jersey in honor of their son.

“Braden’s work so beautifully illustrates the inclusiveness and equality that we embrace,” said Kristine Friend, senior director of segment marketing for Marriott.
