Sounds a fun flat

reports:

A room-for-rent advertisement in that specified ‘no heterosexuals' has been criticised by the Commission.

The advertisement, which was listed on on Thursday, included the line: “We don't want to live with a couple, a heterosexual person, or someone is loud at night, or /does drugs/party[s] a lot.” …

It was for a four-bedroom house in the suburb of Newtown, which the existing flatmates described as a “queer, transgender, vegetarian household”.

They described themselves as two “feminist/politically switched on adults” and went to say they also did not want to live with anyone who is “racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, fatphobic [sic], hates sex workers, hates migrants or is otherwise a jerk”.

“We want to live with someone who is relaxed, motivated, grown up, reliable, considerate, child friendly, LGBTQIA+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual], pays the board on time with no stress, [is] vegetarian or vegan.”

Sounds like a real fun place to live 🙂

But you know what support their right to specify who they want to live with. They should be able to set whatever criteria they want.
