HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY IN DENVER
Denver is one of those rare places that has something for everyone. Its proximity to the majestic Rocky Mountains makes it a perfect destination for the outdoorsy types, while gastronomes and art lovers can spend their days touring the dozens of local breweries and art galleries that pepper the city. And while it may not quite have the nightlife and drag culture of cities like New York or LA, Denver is up there among some of the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the US. In fact, it was dubbed the “gay” oasis of the west in the '80s! If you’re interested in exploring the Mile High City and want to support its thriving LGBTQ+ community at the same time, here are some ways to do it.
W BOGOTA AND M·A·C COSMETICS COMMEMORATE LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH
WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE PRIDE SUITE
W Bogota, part of Marriott International’s portfolio, is without a doubt the most sought-after rebellious luxury and lifestyle hotel by travelers that are eager for extraordinary experiences. Since its opening, W Bogota has been a hotel committed to diversity and inclusion. In alliance with M·A·C Cosmetics, W Bogota is pleased to announce the launch of the Pride Suite, an exclusive experience that will be available for the first time in Bogotá and through which both brands will commemorate the month of LGBTQ+ Pride. Marriott International was one of the first hotel chains to offer equal benefits for same-sex couples in the United States, and in 2018 became the first global hotel company to endorse the landmark United Nations LGBTQ+ Standards of Business Conduct, designed to address worldwide discrimination against people in the LGBTQ+ community. The Pride Suite of W Bogota and M·A·C Cosmetics can be experienced by the Loud & Proud package, where groups of friends can participate in an exclusive make-up class with a M·A·C Cosmetics professional in one of the hotel suites while enjoying cocktails and snacks inspired by the celebration of pride.
