Great news for the LGBT community.  HUD has announced a new policy giving protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who file complaints of housing discrimination.  Although we are generally pretty liberal here in San Francisco, this policy extends throughout the entire country.  The new policy carries into rights under loan applications, and lender discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.  This carries into housing with any type of government backed loans.  Please see attached article from Inman News http://www.inman.com/news/2010/07/2/hud-offers-lgbt-housing-protections
