Don't discriminate against strippers.
That's the message the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission (search) is sending with a lawsuit against an Omaha real-estate company that refused to rent to a topless dancer.
The Richdale Group (search) had declined to lease an apartment to Charleigh Greenwood after she listed her occupation as a "dancer" at a Council Bluffs, Iowa, lounge.

Another example of people making a moral judgement where they have no business doing so.

I thought it was against FR policy to post this kind of thread without pictures.

I wouldn't want to rent to a stripper either. In comparing occupations, they have among women an exceptionally high crime rate, notably in homicide and drugs.

Dunno. Based on experience (had a friend who got to know some strippers at a particular club pretty well), many (more like most) seem to lead self destructive lifestyles. The landlord may be looking for a renter who will pay his rent reliably and not destroy the place, and have reasons to believe that the woman in question is not a desirable renter.

It is their property. The government should not be able to force them to rent to her. They should be able to make any moral judgement they want to when they own the property. Not discriminating against race or ethnicity is an entirely different matter. But since when do people not have the right to make their own moral judgements?

I think he was just concerned about the fact that she would be paying her rent in $1.00 bills...
