U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) told a group of Realtors it should be OK for homeowners to refuse to sell their property to gays and lesbians. “Every homeowner should be able to make a decision not to sell their home to someone (if) they don’t agree with their lifestyle,” Rohrabacher told an Orange County Association of Realtor’s delegation at a May 16 meeting.

Rohrabacher confirmed the accuracy of the sentiment, and added that homeowners should have the right to “choose who they do business with.” “We’ve drawn a line on racism, but I don’t think we should extend that line,” Rohrabacher said. “A homeowner should not be required to be in business with someone they think is doing something that is immoral.” Once the National Association of Realtors took him off their endorsement list, he kept on digging by saying, “It’s sad to see (the association’s) priority is standing in solidarity with making sure a stamp of approval is put on somebody’s private lifestyle.”

And this came about as Orange County Realtors met last week with Rohrabacher during NAR’s mid-year lobbying conference in Washington and asked him to support H.R. 1447, among other issues. This bill would expand the Fair Housing Act of 1968 in include “sexual orientation.” But folks like Dana just can’t have any of them dirty queers living next door to him.

So, Rep. Rohrabacher, for your help in fanning the flames of bigotry and holding high the bigot banner for the GOP, we give you today’s Douche Bag award.
