After I posted about this in another host group, a couple hosts flagged the listing. However, the flagging accomplished nothing. One host finally posted a message about this on the Airbnb Twitter page and finally Airbnb sent the issue to the correct department, and now both the listing and the hosts have been removed from the platform, so if you click on either link you will see that.
Apparently Airbnb cannot get to flagged items in a timely way, if ever. This poses serious concerns in particular for scam listings created by criminals.

Judging from their guest reviews, their guests loved their place, and they also loved their guests, whom they gave glowing reviews. Too bad this had to end based on one bit of poor judgment. I actually wasn't going to flag their listing myself as I believe Airbnb takes an overly punitive stance with regard to such things.   |

It's easier to remove them than employing personnel capable of calling them and explain that they can't do that.
Or maybe airbnb found such calls useless, as most people will not give up their notions of right things for a call. They would simply be selective more cleverly.
The job of that person doing these calls would be as agreable as the FB and MS people filtering kid's porn from user videos. Would you apply for such a job? For what salary and for how long?
Must be cheaper to fire the hosts.

Yes, I think you're right Helga.
Also though -- it's not like the hip, urban gay folk would be beating down their doors wanting to stay at their house. They had kitschy and rather tasteless decor. Big stuffed animals atop the fridge in the kitchen, overly ordered rooms, lurking Christian crosses, -- a coke bottle as a vase filled with plastic flowers. The place had an eerie look, something like a wax museum. They didnt' need to say no same sex couples. They just needed to put up photos of their menacing cutesie crosses and other lifeless fluff and stuff decor and they'd probably get mostly guests like themselves who also found such things to be comforting security against the perils of embodied existence.
