Shame Upon America – Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (CA-R)

Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher says it’s OK not to sell homes to gays; loses support of Realtors

The Orange Country Register, May 24, 2018, Jeff Collins –

U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher told a group of Realtors last week that homeowners should be able to refuse to sell their property to gays and lesbians, a statement that cost him the support of a key national Realtor group.

“Every homeowner should be able to make a decision not to sell their home to someone (if) they don’t agree with their lifestyle,” Rohrabacher told an Orange County Association of Realtors delegation at a May 16 meeting in Washington, D.C., according to Wayne Woodyard, a former Orange County Realtor president who was at the event.

On Thursday, Rohrabacher confirmed the accuracy of the sentiment, and added that homeowners should have the right to “choose who they do business with.” [1]
