Kasz is definitely right about people being able to discriminate against gays in housing situations in almost every state. There just aren't any laws to protect them unless a city or a state passes those laws themselves.
I was pretty surprised to learn this in my property law class.
Ironically, you can still discriminate in most places against people based on "marital status", for instance if they are an unmarried couple who are living together and that offends you, there is no law that prevents you from discriminating against them.
But very few landlords give a shit about that these days it is so common.
Gays are sometimes forced to "hide", which is pretty ridiculous.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
