Thank you for doing this! Getting kicked out/disowned is an unfortunately common experience for the queer youth and providing them with easy to find safe space

Thank you for doing this! Getting kicked out/disowned is an unfortunately common experience for the queer youth and providing them with easy to find safe spaces is a very kind thing to do.

Wtf? Landlords are kicking out queer people for being queer? I can’t imagine any possible and reasonable explanation for them to do that. In any case, nice project

  Queerphobia It's not a good reason but it's common enough and the targets aren't typically in a strong position to fight it. Some homeless shelters will even kick queer people out if they get in. Look up the controversy around the Salvation Army.

    Not questioning this happening, at all, but it's so unbelievably idiotic to me. It's not like queer people pay less rent or are by default bad tenants.

      It only seems idiotic because you're not really seeing it as a deeply moral issue from their point of view. I don't agree, but to them it's similar to allowing a sex offender or a pedophile as a tenant (and conflating LGBT people with pedophiles is a time-honored tradition). Even if there's zero chance that they'll do anything to anyone, it still invokes a moral revulsion. Landlords are emotional humans like everyone else, they aren't motivated solely by rent payments.

  Not necessarily commercial landlords - more like intolerant parents (particularly a step-parent), or grandparents or an aunt/uncle or other relatives that a youth might be living with.

  For the entirety of Three's Company, Jack Tripper was a straight man pretending to be gay just to appease the landlord. Kind of amusing that a landlord in the 1970's had no issue with a gay man, but a straight unmarried man with two female roommates was scandalous.
