    Never heard of this person before. Is she one who would hold the opinion that bakers and photographers get to refuse serve anyone?

    I don't know about that, but she's an extreme right-wing Canadian commentator.

    But, do you believe that Airbnb should prevent someone from doing business with them because of their religious political beliefs? What about that person's parents?

      I believe they ought to ban all men of Asian descent.

      They probably smell funny. Or have cooties. Or something...

          Why do you keep repeating this lie repeatedly? And you know it is. It’s been pointed out to you multiple times that this never happened as you describe it.

          Beyond that. Artists can and do refuse commissions all the time for any reason. These weren’t cases where a grocery store refused to sell them commodities because they were gay. This isn’t a restaurant choosing to not serve them or a hotel refusing to house them.

            So how do we stop AirBnB acting like this - government legislation?

            Isn't the free-market capitalist concept the idea that companies can pretty much what they want to whomever they want? If you don't like how they act, then don't use them, IOW let the market decide. Isn't that the argument?

            I'm sure if we look carefully we can find other historical examples of companies shitting all over people. In this case, they're just refusing to do business with somebody, presumably with the idea that the kind of people who typically use AirBnb will approve of this sort of thing.

            I was only joking

                You could have legislation that adds viewpoint discrimination to the civil rights act.

                But that would be pretty drastic in its effects.

                If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

                  Complaining about something does not imply support for new laws to ban it.

                      Nor have I and, now that I have followed up on her Canadian nationality and read a bit more about her, nor would I wish to hear of her in future.

                        Lauren Southern's video of her 'traditional wife' lifestyle and its crash against the rocks of reality. It sounds like she married someone who wasn't ok with being attached to an "alt right" personality. He left her and now she's a broke single mom, but spiritually fulfilled.
