  Yes, that's still discrimination. In this case it seems to be legal
discrimination, though.

  I can understand how a bigot might feel uncomfortable sharing
an apartment with a black, or a Jew, or a homosexual. (Think of
what it would do to his reputation!) Or vice-versa, for that matter ---
is it legal to only allow unbigoted tenants? (Probably not.)
