“He mea kupanaha ka noho ʻana i kahi honua kahi i pono ʻole ai ka hoʻolauleʻa haʻaheo. Eia nō naʻe, e pili ana i ka neʻe ʻana i ka conservatism ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, he mea koʻikoʻi ia no nā poʻe a me nā hui e lilo i alakaʻi… e ʻike ʻia ma kēia wahi! Hauʻoli wau i ka hana pū ʻana me W Hotels i kēia WorldPride i ko mākou hana pū ʻana e hōʻike i ke koʻikoʻi o ka waiwai ʻana i ka ʻokoʻa a me ka hana ʻana i nā ala hou o ka noho ʻana, "wahi a Contemporary Artist, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran.
No ka ha o ka makahiki holo, W Hotels, he hapa o ka Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio of 30 unique hotel brands, celebrate the longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion as a major sponsor of The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Hoʻolauleʻa ke kumumanaʻo W Hotels no WorldPride i kēia makahiki i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo - ʻoiai ʻo wai a ma hea paha ʻoe, ma kahi W Hotel, aia mau 'Room For You'.
"Ua makemake mau ʻo W Hotels i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi kahua no ka hōʻike pilikino a me ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i nā kaiāulu LGBTQIA+ e hana i kahi kaiapuni i hoʻokipa maoli ʻia no nā mea a pau," wahi a Jennie Toh, Hope Pelekikena, Brand Marketing and Brand Management, Marriott International Asia Pacific. "Ua noho mau ka Inclusivity i ka puʻuwai o W's DNA, e hana ana i kahi wahi e ʻoluʻolu ai nā mea āpau - ʻoiaʻiʻo a ākea."
"ʻO kā mākou mau hoaaloha maikaʻi a me nā hoa hana ma W Hotels he mau kākoʻo maikaʻi loa ia o Sydney WorldPride a me ka LGBTQIA + kaiaulu holoʻokoʻa; e hoʻolako i kahi kahua no ka hoʻoikaika a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hoʻokipa no nā mea āpau. Mai ko lākou komo ʻana o Mardi Gras float, a hiki i kā lākou leka hoʻohui mau ʻana, hauʻoli mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o lākou me mākou i kēia manawa Festival, "wahi a Kate Wickett, Luna Nui o Sydney WorldPride.
E lilo ana ʻo W Hotels i ka hōʻike o ka hōʻike ponoʻī a me ka haʻaheo LGBTQIA+ ma ka Mardi Gras Parade ma Sydney's Oxford Street, Pepeluali 25. E hui pū ana me kahi pūʻali o LGBTQIA+ talena e hanu ana i ka manaʻo W a ua hoʻoikaika nui i ka mele, ke kiʻi a me fashion world, W Hotels e hoʻolauleʻa i ka hoʻololi ʻana o kēia mau paionia i kā lākou mau kula i hoʻomaka i ko lākou kaiāulu.
ʻO ka holo ʻana ma luna o ka W Hotels lana i ka Mardi Gras Parade e hānau ʻia ʻo Sri-Lankan ka mea pena kiʻi o kēia manawa ʻo Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, nona ka hana kiʻi kaulana i hōʻike ʻia ma ka honua e like me ka NGA a me Dark Mofo. He leo ikaika i loko o ke kaiāulu LGBTQIA+, ʻo ka hana kiʻi a Ramesh he noʻonoʻo i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana ma mua o nā binaries a me ka waiwai ʻana i ka ʻokoʻa moʻomeheu - nā waiwai nui i kaʻana like ʻia e W Hotels.
Ke komo nei i loko o kahi hoʻokani mele kūikawā me nā kālena he 40 mai W Hotels i ka parade, nā talena Australian me ka stylist, ka mea hana maʻiʻo a me ka mea pena kiʻi hana ʻo Millie Sykes; ka mea kākau, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hale kūʻai puke ʻo Gertrude lāua ʻo Alice a me ka mea aloha lole ʻo Jordan Turner; ka hula a me ka haku mele ʻo Rhys Kosakowski; mea hoʻohālike a me ka mea hoʻokumu ʻike queer Brandon Kilgour; ʻO Sean Brady ka mea pena kiʻi kiʻi kaulana ma waena o ka honua a me ka mea pena queer a me ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu ʻo QTBIPOC artist collective House of Silky Mirasia, e hoʻohui i ka hulahula ikaika ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka W Hotels lana i kona hele ʻana ma waena o ka lehulehu.
Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka W float e like me ka 'Room For You' ethos a me Sydney WorldPride's theme of 'Gather, Dream, Amplify'. Lele ka lana i loko o nā waihoʻoluʻu wiwo ʻole ma ke ʻano he mea e hoʻokākala ai i ke ʻano no ka hana ʻana i ka naʻau nui e hoʻohauʻoli. Hoʻohālike ʻia ma nā wahi kikoʻī a me nā ʻike e aloha ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi me W Hotels, manaʻo e ʻike i kahi hōʻikeʻike ikaika o kahi lumi hoʻokipa W-style, ka pahu pūlima a me ka loko WET kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ke kahua lana e lilo i mau ʻōlelo wiwo ʻole e hōʻike ana i nā mea a nā malihini W e makemake nui ai: lumi no ka ʻimi. Keena no ka Haaheo. Keena no ke Kaiaulu. lumi no ke aloha. lumi no na kanaka a pau.
ʻO ka papahana ma W Hotels ma Australia ma luna o WorldPride e hoʻāla i ka pilina a hoʻolauleʻa i ka hana. Ma W Melbourne, e ʻike ʻia nā kālena mele LGBTQIA+ kūloko ma WET Sunday Sessions ma Malaki 5. No ka ʻauinalā o ka loko wai mele maikaʻi loa, e hoʻomau ʻo W Brisbane i nā ʻoliʻoli me kahi Mardi Gras Recovery Pool Party ma ka WET Deck o ka hōkele ma Malaki 12. E hoʻokani ana ʻo DJ ENN i kahi hui o nā mele e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ke aloha a me ke kaulike a ʻo ka hui W e lawelawe ana i nā cocktails ʻono a me nā nibbles. ʻO W Sydney, ka waiwai ʻekolu o Australian brand, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hui pū i ka hoʻolauleʻa i ka wā e wehe ai i kona mau puka ma Darling Harbor i ʻOkakopa i kēia makahiki.
