I'm okay with this. Gays are no worse than anyone who sins. They shouldn't be denied access to housing or employment. But too, their sinful relationships shouldn't be recognized as legal marriages.

If a landlord chooses not to rent to them or to people of certain ethnicities, or religions, then perhaps he shouldn't be a landlord any more.

CC, you're a dear sister in the Lord, but here's my take. Because we're a country built on religious freedom, one of those freedoms is to follow our own conscience and Scripture. So let me ask you, if a Christian or Mormon landlord reads in their Bible, "...do not share in the sins of others." (1 Timothy 5:22) -- and then if they try to follow that admonition by not providing a...
...brothel to a tenant
...or a marijuana den
...or a heterosexual cohabiting couple
...or a group marriage
...or a homosexual couple
...then shouldn't that landlord be able to follow either 1 Tim. 5:22 or their conscience?

As the mother of a homosexual son, I will tell you there is no darker hell than watching a young man desend from handsome, educated, talented, loved by all his family and friends into a mean, deceitful, lying, freak....bleach blond mohawk, tattoos, filthy mouth, hiv positive....it just gets unglier and uglier.
We all love him as we always have, but he is beyond our reach.
All of these pro-homosexual laws and compromises only enable, and encourage this behavior and breaks my heart. What on earth is wrong with a society that encourages young people to destroy themselves with this absolutely self destructive, deseases ridden, pukey stuff?
A homosexual is not defined by who they are, but by what they do, and it’s ugly.

It’s a good thing that most intelligent conservatives disagree with you. If I do not want to rent to someone who makes bad lifestyle choices that is my right and NO ONE will make me do otherwise. This has nothing to do with race or ethnicity, which is something a person cannot help. Being gay is a choice and is no better than being an alcholic or drug addict, and I will not rent to them.
