[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this is really hitting me with a visceral anger that you are probably going to discriminate against this couple and get away with it. I'm a lawyer and I wish I knew this couple. I'd take the case pro bono and keep you so hog tied with a lawsuit that eventually you'd lose your house.[/quote]

[b]If you are a lawyer you'd no you'd have no case. [/b]Individual landlords cannot be compelled to rent to tenants they don't want to rent to. The reason could be they're of another race -- it doesn't matter. Not for an individual landlord. Not justifying this, mind you, but don't claim to be a lawyer when you clearly don't know the law.[/quote]

So what?  Even if that's true, the PP didn't mention winning - just tying up the OP for a long time, costing her a ton of money, and publicizing her bigotry to all her friends and neighbors to see.  Easy enough to do that (in the right jurisdiction, of course - VA would be a little more difficult).  I doubt her next door neighbors are going to be too pleased when subpoenaed to testify at a deposition regarding whether OP has made comments regarding gay people before.  Also, still waiting for that citation to the law that provides individual landlords are held to different standards for discrimination purposes.  [/quote]
