Ronda, who told you they will put your listing on hold?
Age is a different category that has exception when it comes to discrimination. For example, I don't allow children under 6 years of age in one of my listings because it is more modern and has a lot of glass panel around the shower. Therefore, it is a safety issue and I phrase it as that. Not discrimination since it is a safety issue which takes precedence.
There are many nightclubs or upscale institutions that have 25 year minimum age requirement. Have you heard of any of them losing a lawsuit for discrimination?
Age discrimination has been more a topic when it comes to older people say 60 years+. Not young people. Age discrimination became a thing when some employers chose not to hire someone because they thought they were too "old". In this context, age discrimination doesn't factor in. I don't see any liability for placing a minimum age requirement especially if it is due to safety or to maintain a mature clientèle which many places do just fine.
I think we need to get a better grasp of the definition and application of discrimination. Everyone is discriminated against in someway whether it be the way they dress, the type of car they drive or the way they communicate. We as host "discriminate" against guests who may perhaps use a lot of slang or send us a short non descriptive message asking to book our place. In this example, we discriminate based on their communication skills. Does this make it illegal? no. It is a fact of life as long as you are not discriminating on race, gender, disability (and this one is a grey area topic depending on access suitability of your home). i think you get my point.
