I'm not sure how these services operate, but I wonder if a difference to traditional hotels is that they get applications, rather than reservations on a first come, first served basis? If AirBnB landlords receive applications, maybe they just wait for an attractive one (ie a single male landlord could prefer to rent to attractive women). I'm not trying to defend racism, just wondering how to alleviate the problem. I suppose traditional hotels don't get to look at a profile of the people who book with them. At most they could infer something from their name.

No, at the hotels, you have to wait until you attempt to check in before they discriminate against you. http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_13302.php http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_13302.php http://www.queerty.com/gay-couple-told-theres-no-room-at-the-inn-at-london-hotel-20130226/ http://www.queerty.com/gay-couple-told-theres-no-room-at-the... http://www.advocate.com/news/2007/03/30/gay-couple-turned-away-sc-hotel http://www.advocate.com/news/2007/03/30/gay-couple-turned-aw...
