I’m not a close follower of the ins and outs of Airbnb’s attitudes, but they are part of the Capitalist system, and so they do want to make money, yes.
However, as a host and guest user of Airbnb, I find the system works for me. I will be very pleased to sign the anti-discrimination policy, and the timing of this coming out (cf the discrimination espoused by elected Trump) is apposite!

Regardless of the lady’s point of view, the new policy isn’t about discrimination, it’s about one thing and one thing only: by making people rent out to whomever Airbnb wants, Airbnb ensures its cut. Simple as that. That website doesn’t give a shit about anyone.

You shouldn’t be a host or a guest.

No problems renting FROM a gay couple, but cannot rent TO a gay couple?????? In this case, her hosting/renting privileges should be taken away.

I posted this as a guest. I believe it is only fair to say that Airbnb have actually refunded my money now – including the service fee. So that is a bit of a relief.

I would prefer to have this deleted now – is that possible please?

On the other hand, could it help someone else in the same position, who paid before they knew about the agreement and have had their booking cancelled?
