I'm just guessing that a good majority of those cases were frivolous.
Maybe. I know a percentage of all civil cases filed are frivolous -- I don't know if that's the majority or the exception though.
I do know there are plenty of bigoted landlords who discriminate against Muslims, blacks, gays, etc... Some of them admit it and others fail when they try to lie about it.
Anyway, the department of Housing and Urban Development did a study to determine the extent of landlord discrimination against gays specifically. I think the results are interesting. HUD Gay Discrimination Research Report: http://www.huduser.org/portal/Publicatio...umm_v2.pdf
