DU Lawyers: Does the Fair Housing Act apply to someone who's LOOKING for a room & places a want ad?

Advertisements [?]

I want to put an ad up on Craigslist in their "housing wanted" section. I'm looking to move to a different city and share an apartment or house there, so I'm not advertising a room for rent. I don't give a damn about race, religion, or sexual preference, but I don't care to share a house with anyone who's got children. I like my peace and quiet, and children are the absolute antithesis of that. I would rather live with hardcore party animals than a family or single parent with children, because at least the partiers would be quiet during the day.

Does this count as an illegal discriminatory preference?
