Over the last several years, Airbnb has implemented <a href="https://news.airbnb.com/sixyearadupdate/">a number of programs and policies</a> to build inclusion and fight discrimination.  </p> <p>This includes instituting the Airbnb Community Commitment, requiring everyone who uses Airbnb to agree to treat each other with respect and without judgment or bias. All prospective Hosts and guests must agree to the Community Commitment and to follow our Nondiscrimination Policy in order to join our community. To date, more than 2.5 million people have been denied access to, or removed from the Airbnb platform for declining to agree to the Community Commitment. We also provide <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/resources/hosting-homes/g/how-to-be-an-even-more-inclusive-host-16">inclusion resources for Hosts</a>, designed to help them welcome guests from all backgrounds, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. </p> <p>As we enter this Pride Month, we continue to stand with the LGBTQ+ community, championing the values of love, acceptance, and diversity that make our world a brighter place. No matter how you identify or who you love, you are always welcome on Airbnb. </p> </div> <div class="post__floatingSocialShareWrap"> <div class="post__floatingSocialShare"> <script>window.twttr =
