ROD TOOK THE MANGER, BECAUSE THE INN WAS FULL OF GAYS.

Airbnb has written a non-discrimination clause into its user agreements. As reported by the New York Times, this would appear to be less a spurt of SJW enthusiasm and more a PR/business decision -- Airbnb was getting shit because some of its renters have been a bit, er, exclusive about whom they'd allow to rent through their listings:

[Airbnb's] reputation was stained in December, when Harvard University researchers released a working paper that concluded it was harder for guests with African-American-sounding names to rent rooms through the site. Several Airbnb users have since shared stories on social media saying they were denied a rental because of their race. In May, an African-American Airbnb user filed a suit against the company, seeking class-action status, saying he had been denied a place to stay because of his race.

Thus does Airbnb avoid association with bigotry, and people who only want to rent to white people can go to or even start up a competitive service, perhaps called Honkyhost. The magic of the marketplace in action!

Longtime readers will be unsurprised to learn Rod Dreher, spokesman for the oppressed white straight masses, is incensed, and declares he would never sign such an agreement, because in his view Airbnb is "passing judgment on my religious beliefs, and committing itself to bias against me and others who hold them."

Fine, you might say -- then hie thee hence to Honkyhost (or, given Dreher's hard-on for the LGBT, HetHost) and luxuriate in your straightwhiteness. But you don't understand -- for Brother Rod, the problem is that you and Airbnb would so readily dismiss him; he considers himself and his fellow "religious traditionalists" oppressed by your noxious non-discrimination:

I’m about to check out from a Courtyard Marriott. What if in the future, hotels like this compelled their customers to sign such a commitment? There would be few places that religious conservatives and others who didn’t accept the LGBT line could stay when they travel. It’s not hard to imagine gay activists in the near future instituting a corporate campaign to get “Fairness Pledges” to be part of the business model of hotels and other businesses. If they succeed, then somebody will need to come up with The Religious Conservative Motorist Green Book.

The original Green Book, if you don't know, was a guidebook for black travelers disaccommodated by Jim Crow. I already had been looking forward to a nation free of racial and anti-gay prejudice, but that the very idea of such a world drives Dreher to Freedom Rider cosplay just makes the prospect that much sweeter.
