A Virginia realtor accused of “hate speech” for posting a Bible verse on Facebook has been found “guilty” of an ethics violation.
The Virginia Association of Realtors ruled on Dec. 11, that Wilson Fauber of Staunton violated the ethics code that prohibits realtors from “certain religious expressions.” Fauber maintains he did nothing wrong and is expected to appeal.

This started to come to light last year when the 70-year-old Fauber, a realtor and pastor, decided to run for Staunton City Council. Long before his decision to run, Fauber had reposted a Scripture from Rev. Franklin Graham on his personal Facebook page in 2015. It stated that homosexual sex is a sin, based on Leviticus 18:22. Then last year, two Staunton realtors, including an openly gay man, filed a complaint with the Virginia Association of Realtors accusing Fauber of “hate speech.”
When asked why he believes this is all coming out now in 2024, Fauber said, “Because the National Association of Realtors is woke. The leadership of the National Association of Realtors has made it very clear about their involvement in endorsing and approving of the LGBTQ community, and just recently, just a few weeks ago actually, in Charlottesville, Virginia, the National Association of Realtors provided funding for a Drag Queen Show.”
The Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors did host a Drag Show in November in the name of a “Fair Housing Symposium,” which was reportedly funded in part by the National Association of Realtors’ “fair housing grant.” We contacted the N.A.R. for a comment and no one has responded to our request.
Fauber’s attorney sees it as a double standard that the N.A.R. can use realtor money to fund drag shows but Fauber can’t post a Bible scripture on his Facebook page. “That’s the position that’s being suggested, correct,” said Michael Sylvester with Founding Freedoms Law Center.
