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.
- Mo3 4y agoNot 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.

- themacguffinman 4y agoIt 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.
