Yay! As reported by Realtor Magazine, the National Association of Realtors' board of directors voted Monday to change our Realtor code of ethics to prohibit Realtor discrimination on the basis of gender identity. This prohibition applies in situations involving consumers and potential employees.
Two years ago, a similar change added protections regarding sexual orientation to the National Association of Realtors' code of ethics. Make note, the Federal Fair Housing Act has yet to add these protections.
And nice that NAR's incoming, 2014 president, Steve Brown, is our organization's first openly gay president.
Wait. I bet you didn't even know we have a code of ethics! You can see the whole thing here.
