Fuzzilicious Thinking has a long post up about the Hilton and what it has done. I continue to believe Hilton has, and will continue, to suffer a PR problem because of this. Worst of all, the wounded have lost what had become a fantastic coming out party for them. Where they could begin to reenter the world. A place where they were understood and where camaraderie helped them begin to cope with their world.
I think there is a lesson here for corporations. You can hunker down in a bunker and hope a bad decision will fade away, or you can confront the issue and turn it into a PR coup. Guess which one Hilton chose?
Dumb move, Hilton. Really dumb.
