The Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego has been boycotted by the LGBT community since it was learned that its owner, Doug Manchester, donated $125K to the effort to pass Prop 8.

On Sunday, former president Bill Clinton sashayed past 200 protestors who were at the entrance to the hotel to deliver a speech to the International Franchise Association. The LGBT activists and allies demonstrated alongside union members who are picketing the hotel because of the alleged working conditions for non-unionized maids.Rex Wockner reports (more photos at his pad):
