So, I (18M) have two roommates. I’m not close with either of them, but I get along better with one than the other.
I have a 20-year-old boyfriend. We usually stay at his place, but his house is being renovated, so we’ve been spending more time at mine. (He’s living with his parents during the renovation, not with me.)
Last week, we were cooking in my kitchen when one of my roommates came in. He said hi and went to his room. No problem.
Then the other roommate (the one I don’t get along with) came in. I greeted him (which is rare for me because we don’t really like each other). He said hi back, then turned to my boyfriend and asked, “Who is he?” I said, “That’s my boyfriend.”
He gave my boyfriend this disgusted look and said: “Your boyfriend? I didn’t know you were gay. He has to leave.”
I was like, what? I asked why. He just said: “Because he’s gay.” I snapped and said: “You and your girlfriend are here all the time. She probably lives here without permission.” He got mad and stormed into his room, slamming the door.
We finished cooking and went to my room.
The next day I asked him what his problem was. He said: “What problem? I don’t want any gay ruining this place.” I was shocked.
Three days later, I came home and heard noises from the kitchen (you can see part of it from the front door, but the table is around a corner). This homophobic roommate was literally having sex on the dining table. I was disgusted.
They saw me, and he started yelling at me. I yelled back that I was calling the landlord. That night I barely slept (2 hours) because I couldn’t stop thinking about it (so gross).
In the morning I called the landlord and told him what happened. He was so shocked he nearly choked on his coffee. He also told me the last tenant who lived in my room left because of this same roommate.
My roommate got an eviction notice and is now packing his stuff.
So, Reddit, AITA for getting my roommate evicted?
(P.S. My English isn’t great so sorry for any mistakes.)

Serves that homophobic POS right. Your landlord is cutting his losses by forcing him out.
NTA
Roommate got himself evicted
Good for you!!! NTA
NTA. That roommate was way out of line, harassing you and your boyfriend over something as ridiculous as being gay-that’s just hateful and unacceptable. Then to to top it off, he’s pulling that stunt on the kitchen table? Gross and disrespectful to everyone sharing the space. You were totally justified in calling the landlord, especially since it sounds like this guys been a problem before. Don’t feel bad for standing up for yourself and good riddance to him! Hopefully your next roommate is way better 🙂

The incredibly petty part of me would suggested you have sex in the homophobic room mates bed and time it so he walks in on it 😂
NTA good for you!
You absolutely did not get him evicted. His actions did that. Well, his attitude and his actions. But the point is that none of this is your fault and you did absolutely nothing wrong. I hope at some point in his life he wakes up and realizes that people are just people and sexual preference matters just about as much as hair color does in the overall scheme of things.
100% NTA!!
Also, I’m incredibly proud of you for standing up to this vile steaming pile of garbage. Never stop doing that!!
i’m glad the landlord did something
NTA. Let him experience the consequences of his actions.
Hi everyone! Thanks for the comments! I forgot to mention that neither of us is actually gay—I’m pansexual and my boyfriend is bi! But that’s not really relevant to the story.
REGARDS: op
NTA. The homophobe got HIMSELF evicted. The landlord just needed cause of action to legally enforce it.
Absolutely NTA. The landlord should have evicted him the first time this happened.
Good on you and I’m so sorry this happened
Idk when folks are gonna realize that hatred NEVER wins.
NTA.
His actions got himself evicted, I’m glad that the landlord is kicking him out.
NTA! Glad the landlord handled it, I hope if you get another roommate it’s someone nice at least.
Stop saying you got him evicted. The landlord made that decision after having prior issues with the same guy. This isn’t weight you should carry.
NTA. And yay!! He got the boot he deserves! (Love when that happens!)
NTA
Homophobes don’t deserve anything 😊
Nope about time he found somewhere else to go..That is disgusting to do on a table you eat on..He deserves to be kicked out….
i really want to know if the landlord was shocked that he was homophobic or about the kitchen sex or both? like was it it homophobic behavior causing the last roomate to leave or does he have a habit of having sex on kitchen tables 😂
NTA.
Roommate FAFO’d.
Be strong. Stand up for your life and your love. Well Done!
Say ‘see ya’ to the fool
NTA
NTA. He fafo LOL
