Texas Lady So Mad Airbnb Gave Her Bed, Breakfast And Bigotry The Boot

We've heard this tune before


Texas Lady So Mad Airbnb Gave Her Bed, Breakfast And Bigotry The Boot


image:
straight friendly

Let’s fire up a new GoFundMe for a lady bigot what’s hatin’ the gays! The city: Galveston, Texas. The business: Airbnb. The gays: Jonathan and Brent. So here is what happened. Jonathan Wang and his man-lover Brent (no last name provided, maybe he is like Madonna!) were in Galveston to see their friends get married, and they found themselves a nice bed and breakfast on the Airbnb website. Everything was great until they came back and met the owner, some bing bong named “Heather,” who inquired as to where his lovely wife might be. Wang was like “nope, lady, ain’t got no wife, but this is my man friend Brent!” Heather did NOT like that:

“She said I thought you were bringing a wife. I said I didn’t say that specifically. I said is that going to be OK? She said. It’s not,” said Wang.

Wang said the hosts told them to get out. He said he began packing his things.

“She also commented while we were going upstairs that was their bedroom upstairs so they were even more uncomfortable with it,” said Wang.

It was a giant pain in the ass, but Wang and his dude-friend found a new place. As for Heather, she explains that she was “completely of her realms and morals” in making her decision, which are some words that do not even make sense together, even in Texas. We are going to guess she was homeschooled.

Both daughter attended University on academic scholarship. When asked, while high school age, about where they attended school, they invariably responded "we is homeschooled".
P.S. it was a homeschooler joke popular among their friends.

two brain cells that arced. made herself a national joke by going on one of the afternoon talk shows, and announcing that any woman who was an unwed mother was a slut--including one of her daughters. she had homeschooled her children, none of whom had any use for her as adults.

betty was an idiot here long before we were graced with tancredo and musgrave and bruce and lamborn.

7. Opinion based on personal animus is unreliable at best.

Dare I ask why anyone would make such a ridiculous generalization without offering a shred of evidence?

poster of late. Nastiness, apologia, and as hominem served up in Denny's-sized portions are the sorts of thins that make DU suck.

Apparently. I am not sure this case is worth pursuing. Anybody that ignorant is probably best left alone.

the only positive thing I can find in this heather person's actions is that her bigotry and ignorance are on display for all the world to see. no hiding under a sheet for her.

I have used them about 100 times. I've stayed all over the US, Mexico and in Europe. I've not had one negative experience and would choose them over a standard hotel anytime.

Their website is lots of fun. Take a look if you get a chance.
