This year a number of users have reported receiving rejection messages from hosts basing decisions solely on their sexuality or gender identity, including author Shadi Petosky who was told that because she is transgender she may make the host’s 13 son uncomfortable.
The “community commitment” aims to “fight bias and discrimination in the Airbnb community” and asks users to commit to treating everyone without judgement or bias, regardless of “sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability or age.”
Users who don’t sign the commitment will on longer be able to host or book using the service.
