It's California on the Atlantic.
Isn’t Obamaland great?
Now go pay your taxes - your government is broke. :)
I agree. As offensive as this sounds, I believe that a person should have the right to rent to whoever they please. That being said, if this was a Christian not wanting to rent to a homosexual, or a white person not wanting to rent to a minority, the left would be up in arms. I hope he wins the suit, and then prominently displays an American flag onsite. Liberals can’t stand the sight of it.
Yes, but it’s wrong by natural law and natural rights. Bad laws.
Anyone else see the irony in a pacifist starting a huge fight over this?
Then you work to change the laws, but until then you abide by them..............
They’ve driven entire conservative businesses out because they wouldn’t marry gays, etc.
Sauce for the gander. Actually, I don’t think it’s fair, either, but if they are going to write jerky laws, why should we fight with one hand behind our backs?
Where the heck id Savin Hill?
Where the heck is Savin Hill?

Fried clams..
Hopefully the Celtics, when they beat the Miami Trayvons.
She would probably rent to a member of NAMBLA.
A fancy way of saying Dorchester I believe. No thanks
In this case, I prefer the bill maher dyslexic version of cunning runt.
Nasty liberal tw@t.
Dorchester
He was NOT trying to rent a room in her home but rather a separate apartment. This woman probably wouldn’t rent to a Christian heterosexual either. Her attitude is not only offensive, it is illegal
I agree. Just because she is an idiot is not the issue. Either we have private property rights or we don’t. Nobody should be forced to rent their property to anyone regardless of the reason.
Just as a point of information. In Iowa, if you live a duplex or triplex, you can discriminate as much as you want on the other units. At least this was the law 25 years ago and I don’t think it changed but you can bet it is not promoted. It seems to be a sensible law.
The woman is a snake but I think property owners should have a right to rent to whoever they feel like without social engineering policies from the government.
When I was a kid, it was just plain ol
