Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is preparing a first-ever study of alleged housing discrimination against homosexuals. Federal officials are brainstorming with residents of New York, Chicago, and San Francisco on how to conduct the study that is to begin next year. Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, believes the purpose is to gather data to advance the cause of homosexual activists. "But beyond that," he adds, "this is the classic attempt to equate homosexuality so-called 'discrimination' with other traditional civil rights discrimination."

"I've heard of cases where people who are sort of driven to sell their homes because all the homes are being sold to homosexuals," he accounts. "So is the Obama administration going to investigate discrimination against people who are not homosexuals?"

LaBarbera is convinced the study is going to be used to develop and promote homosexual laws in housing, so it is another incremental approach in manufacturing the crisis and then addressing the crisis, which is not a real one. Assistant HUD Secretary Raphael Bostic is quoted by Associated Press as saying, "The president has this as a priority."

There are days when I wonder what kind of head trauma LaBarbera has suffered. The fact that I receive calls from LGBT individuals who have suffered housing discrimination in renting places to live must be a figment of my imagination.
