Title: An estimate of housing discrimination against same-sex couples
Description: This study, completed in October 2011, is based on the responses and nonresponses to 6833 email inquiries sent to housing providers in 50 metropolitan areas. Each provider received two queries, one from a fictional same-sex couple and one from a fictional opposite-sex couple. The response patterns suggest that housing discrimination against same-sex couples is still a problem, even in states where it is prohibited by law.
