A Colorado
landlord who claims to possess magical psychic powers refused to rent
to a queer couple after she predicted their “uniqueness” would cause
trouble in the neighborhood.
When Tonya Smith and her wife Rachel, a trans woman, applied
to rent a home from ‘psychic’ Deepika Avanti in the town of Gold Hill
(pop. 230), they were allegedly told in an email that their “unique
relationship” would become a “town focus,” triggering gossip and blowing
Avanti’s “low profile.”
“In small towns everyone talks and gossips,” the email read. “All of
us would be the most popular subject in town. … There is no way to avoid
this.”
To be sure she was making the right decision rejecting the Smiths based on Rachel’s gender identity, Avanti said she had consulted with another “psychic friend,” who advised her not to rent to the couple.
A ‘psychic’ denied housing to this queer couple after sensing their ‘uniqueness.’ Now, they’re suing her. – LGBTQ Nation
