A lot of people are saying that.
Here's where it gets interesting. If you leased an apartment, could your landlord evict you for for hosting dinners in support of the KKK? That's more similar to what happened with the hosting and service provider denials.
- kenjackson 9y agoThis depends on the terms of the lease. That seems completely non-controversial to me. There's a bunch of stuff in my lease that I couldn't do, which are perfectly legal in many other contexts (smoke inside, have a dog, have big parties, etc...). Likewise, a KKK friendly lease would also be legal and honestly I don't think you'd have a hard time finding people who would be willing to have you. And I've yet to find someone who has said they can't discuss their beliefs. They just don't get "our" support to do it.
- ameister14 9y agoSo it's non-controversial for your landlord to evict you because they don't like your dinner guests?
- kenjackson 9y agoAs I noted, it depends on the terms of the lease. I was stating that if you violate the terms of the lease that eviction was non-controversial. That said, I'm not an expert in rental properties. It wouldn't surprise me if all of these services have some verbiage in their TOS or contract that allows them the right to stop service if the content being served is deemed to be inappropriate by them.
- mvc 9y agoAbsolutely! I'd justify it by the potential risk of discomfort those guests pose to my other tenants.
- dragonwriter 9y agoHousing law has special sets of protection distinct from even the law governing general public accommodations, so (without an argument that the specific service is be very much like housing), it's probably not the most reasonable analogy to use.
