"ONE matters because it allows LGBTQ+ associates to be acknowledged. Growing up in Oklahoma City and being a part of the community wasn't always easy. Making sure to leave out the fact that you're Bisexual to play it safe does not feel good. Marriott supporting, accepting, and acknowledging the LGBTQ+ community is so amazing and so important." - Ryan, Guest Services Representative, Courtyard OKC Northwest
"Just knowing ONE Marriott exists gave me the courage to come out as Transgender and begin living and working as my authentic self. Being accepted in the work place is one of the biggest fear for those of us who are transgender or non-binary and having a place like ONE Marriott there to support me, meant I could stay with the job and company I love. As a member, I am able to help others in our work place struggling with the same fears and help everyone else better understand us as human beings." - Emma, Market IT Mgr. Los Angeles Systems
"It's important because you can be who you really are and don't have to hide behind someone that you're not. You can live freely and happy with your life and be confident with who you are. Once you generally love yourself for who you are, you can find one day someone that loves you for you as well ! - Dalvena, Sales Representative, Miami, Florida
