Re: About this.. housing...

In the United States federal law makes it illegal for landlords to discriminate based on race, national origin, religion, gender, disability, marital status, age, or family status (the presence of children under 18 in the household)... But federal law does not protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation... So you can be evicted, unless there is a state/county/municipality law that explicitly prohibits it...

California (Chapter 352)
Connecticut (Title 46A §81e)
District of Columbia
Massachusetts (Ch. 151B § 3(6))
Minnesota (Ch. 363.12)
New Hampshire (Title 31, Ch. 354A, § 354-A:8)
New Jersey (Title 10:5-3)
Rhode Island (Title 34, Ch. 34-37, § 34-37-1)
Vermont (Title 9, §4503(1))
Wisconsin

are the... states that explicitly prohibits discrimination against sexual orientation (there may be more.... and there are definiately more local laws that prohibit it..)...

A little more sucessful than you think!!! Check out the website. I do know that the female version of the clinton disease helped them take it a few steps closer to your childs backdoor.

actually I'd rather not go there.

But I'll let you tell me how hillary clinton helped out. please be specific since I don't know.

GinNJuice,

Actually... I was wondering about that... if there is no law against discrimination based on sexual orientation it seems that the landlord has the liberty to evict his/her tenant based on sexual orientation if the landlord didn't know that before signing the lease... When it comes to the attention of the landlord he is free to take back the lease and... evict you?

(I think, you can also fire an employee after you discover he/she is gay, provided that you have less than 25 employees?? It seems like you can take back your contract provided that you didn't know all the details before signing it....)

Gin and Juice is avoiding the entire argument of protection because of my use of the word eviction. His argument now is that you sign a lease with your landlord and you are agreeing to abide by the terms. Thus, he says, the landlord can't technically evict you unless the terms of the lease specifically prohibit homosexuality.

What actually has more often been the case is that the lease forbids use of the premises for "illegal activity." Where sodomy is illegal, this became a reason to evict people, or frequently was in the past. (This also occurs in the workplace.) It doesn't happen much in big cities now. A lease can also attempt to regulate, in vague terms, "community standards" and gay people can be evicted for violating these.

GinNJuice,

There was a case several years back when a man was asked to leave the house he rented after the landlord found out the tenant was a lawyer (you can discriminate against a persons profession...). The man stayed no more than a month, his lease cancelled, and... a... evicted... So I suppose it could also be done based on... sexual orientation as well... ?? Hmm....??

You bet your ass!! I did read it and I commented on it. Guys like him are the reason I cannot say I hate all gays.

There is a time and place for everything. The time for sex is behind closed doors with your mate (whoever that might be) Not out in public flouncing around like some limp wristed nelly.

actually there are numerous heterosexual pro-pedophilia groups in existence. they just don't get the publicity that nambla does.

Exactly -- because people don't need to discredit heterosexuality generally by acting as if the deviants represent more than themselves.

should this apply to everyone, or just gays?
