I never ceded any moral or ethical superiority to these arse-clowns, and now is the time ensure that like-minded folks proclaim similarly.

Look, I have done the 'roommate' thingy before. Many times *I* have turned down people; sometimes *just* because I felt that 'it wouldnt work' vis a vis their lifestyle vs my own.

This happens *all* the time --- and determining whom you share a common roof with is amongst the most personal choices you can ever make. Having turned down others for a roommate gig, I just dont have the so-called 'moral superiority' to chastise anyone for making a decision of their most private parts of their lives in this manner.

I guess you have *never* said to yourself in *any* way, shape, or form, even to yourself 'There is no way I could live with X'. If you havent, then I guess you are kind of godlike in that regard, since I would hazard a SWAG that probably only one person in about ten million can state categorically and truthfully that they have never had an opinion like that.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY HOUSING

The owner cannot discriminate. Nothing prevents the co-roomers from doing so.

So you are correct. But, it is not the owner who is preventing the transaction here, nor is the owner discriminating.

You have no evidence of who the owner is. It isn't co-roomers, it is a private room. DC must suck. Tenants can't rent out private rooms only a landlord can.

Tenants renting out rooms happens *all* the time. It is amazingly common.

As to your last sentence, many (most, if not all, actually) property laws distinguish between an owner renting out a room and a full lease in the manner I describe *because* of the shared space doctrine.

Leasing does not mean 'living with' for purposes of discrimination laws. And all the instances I have ever seen, the act of 'living with' is given a huge amount more license under anti-discrimination laws.

Solid response, and I believe my poorly constructed point was misunderstood. Like other posters on here, I prefer individuals and business could discriminate for any reason, regardless of how seemingly stupid that reason might be, and let the free market decide if that business or individual is successful. Obviously, if public funds are involved, you cannot have that, but for privately-owned businesses, I'd support that fully. My rant was more directed to the hypocrisy of the left cheerleading exclusionary action while simultaneously proclaiming to be the side of openness and inclusion. Another case where if roles were reversed, they would be screaming at the sky.........

If this person is going to be a roommate of someone else I have no issue with her being turned away for her political views. You should have to interact with people you don't agree with, but not in your home.
