Is this legal in the United States? If these listings constitute "housing" then you may fall afoul of HUD regulations[1] regarding discriminating against anyone regardless of sexual orientation. i.e., if I am straight you may not be able to prevent me from using your platform to acquire housing.

I'm curious to know what advice you've gotten from your lawyer on this.

> The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing and housing-related discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability.
