the OC in CA has long been a Republican stronghold. Yet in Nov. 2018 theGOP lost EVERY House seat.
My Rep, Dana R, took the position that home sellers should be able tto refuse selling to homosexuals.
No doubt he lost support over this alone. The Real Estate organization withdrew the endorsement they had given him, and other Republicans, for over 30 years.
Thiis is no longer the 1850s. Like it or not, we have "fair housing" laws, starting in the 1860s and again in the 1950s and 1960s.
As a CA licensed RE Broker since 1990, I have had to know I could not "discriminate," for race, religion, disability, etc. Like it or not, sexual orientation now falls into that category.
That is how Dana R. lost his seat, in part. Totally unnecessary.
