You’d think this was illegal, wouldn’t you?

Check out this story from the Sun Sentinel about a condominium association near Venice, Florida.     This association just passed a new rule prohibiting leasing to unmarried couples.    The only permitted lease or sale is to a single person, or to a married couple consisting of a husband and wife.

And here in Florida this is perfectly legal.

 

 

This surprised the daylights out of me as I came from Chicago where people were protected by three layers of laws.    The city of Chicago had an equal protection law; Cook County had a Human Rights Ordinance; and the State of Illinois also passed a law banning discrimination against discrimination of gay couples (and unmarried domestic partners) in most accommodations.

Well it looks like we have some work to do down here in the backwater of Florida.
