As I explained, the FHA applies to certain /kinds/ of housing ads. The determination of whether the FHA applies at all is dependent on a multitude of factors which an advertising middle-man cannot easily know.
Some advertisers opt to respond by applying broad content bans, but this is not reflective of the underlying law.
You will not develop an accurate understanding of the law by trying to reverse engineer it through reading various corporate policies.
> No, discriminatory ads are illegal (other than sex in a roommate situation) even though discrimination in selection is legal in some cases.
This is flatly incorrect. There is no differentiation whatsoever in the FHA between different types of discrimination. They are all uniformly referenced and exempted. See 42 U.S. Code ยง 3604 Sec 804.
The exemptions mean the FHA restrictions do not apply at all. Nowhere is gender discrimination carved out differently from any other type.
> No, it's not legal.
Yeah, it is. I don't like it any more than you do, but this is a fact not a preference.
You are making a common error by ascribing common sense and reasonability to the law. Sometimes this can help frame broad tenets but in this particular case it is leading you to a demonstrably false conclusion.
No, they are not.
