It’s the latest push from the hotel industry to attract lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender travelers.
Rocero, who founded advocacy group Gender Proud, gained international attention for coming out as transgender at a Ted Talk earlier this year.
The #LoveTravels campaign also features openly gay NBA player Jason Collins and other figures in the LGBT community.
Rocero’s Marriot ads will be featured on billboards and print media across the country, as well as in an online portrait gallery.
