Money trumps discrimination whether the law is in place or not. I guess maybe if you want to rent from some slum lord over in WV you might run into problems.
Say it's a nice area and a competitive rental market.
The realtor is homophobic or disagrees with gay marriage, but he's got a good reputation and is all about the profit.
He has three couples applying to rent a vacant unit. The first couple to apply checks out great and has the highest income and the best credit; no criminal records; no pets; both work most of the time... That's the gay middle aged dude and his life partner. They applied first.
Realtor Bob decides to rent the apartment to couple #2, Joe and Susan, instead.
You really think things like that barely ever happen or never happen, sally?
