The launch by dating service eHarmony.com of a new website for homosexuals is creating concern among customers who were attracted to the company because of its Christian foundations, but they're not getting any satisfaction.
WND reported when eHarmony launched its new Compatible Partners website for homosexuals, the result of a settlement of a discrimination complaint brought in New Jersey.
Compatible Partners has been put online by eHarmony following the case prompted by a 2005 complaint by Eric McKinley, a homosexual, who claimed eHarmony's heterosexual-only matching service violated the state's anti-discrimination law.

eHarmony should have stood it’s ground
don’t even hire a lawyer to fight it- just go to court and tell them we don’t make such a product, sorry
Call the new service “eQueer” and call it a day. The law may claim it is discriminatory to not have such a service, but it doesn’t say it has to be marketed favorably.
Notice the homo’s never run out of money for lawsuits, or do leftists get a discount in their star chambers?
The same principle applies in many other cases as well, I should mention. I don't want to get legalistic about it, but a robust faith is reflected in a robust set of choices in how we walk in our daily life. Seek the best, rather than making excuses while wallowing in the slime.
I think they meant to say "homosexual activist" that wants to put one more business on notice that they are "normal," thereby increasing his chances to get laid.
If they keep the eHarmony site separate then what are people complaining about? They were forced by a judge to do this, their hands are tied. As long as they keep them separate then people need to just ignore the anal worshipers who are trying to ruin a good thing for everyone decent.
So quit the site...in droves.
No one is forcing anyone to stay.
Let the queers have it...fat lot of good it will do them.
Weak-kneed
“Let the queers have it...fat lot of good it will do them.
All hetros should go to gay sites and DEMAND they be matched up with other heterosexuals. If denied membership bring lawsuits it droves. The shoe is awfully tight when it is on the other foot.
Question #2: Do you like chocolate or vanilla?
Question #3: Do you want a mans man or a girlie man?
Nothing in the rules about how you match them up.
eHomony?
Wonder what the ToS said regarding refunds before those people signed up. As for the homosexual site, they should have been firm and if nothing else, refused service to people from NJ and let everyone know why.
Shouldn’t everyone’s dissatisfaction with this issue be more appropriately focused on the courts instead of eHarmony?
Bottom line: GREED, not principle or faith
i hope Eharmony appeals this ruling, it is setting another BAD precedence. then again, maybe the big Obamination will just fire the Eharmony CEO and replace him with the likes of Barney Gay Boy Frank. that will fix it seeing as Barney already has experience with gay dating services (recall Barney Franks live in boy friend running the gay prostitute ring?)
It seems to me that they could have just quit offering services in New Jersey instead of including sodomites.
Yea, it's time we give them a taste of their own medicine. Why do they ALWAYS take over something - can't they EVER start something of their own???
A few days after I spoke with Warren, Dobson responded to recent interviews in which Warren has distanced himself from his former booster. "I introduced Dr. Warren and his books -- and eHarmony, more recently -- to our listeners specifically because he was and it was decidedly Christian in nature," Dobson told his radio audience on May 26. "Dr. Warren is anxious to change that direction. So ... we will go our separate ways ... with reluctance and regret."
- from My date with Mr. eHarmony
The “Christian” gay-dater site.
I wonder if they will offer a better service than Craigslist. An ABCDisney journalist got murdered by an underaged male he hired (through Craigslist) to abuse him in a gay S&M relationship.
I thought the gays had Craig’s List - why shake down eHarmony? Nothing is sacred anymore...
It’s about the State setting forth an established constraint on religious teaching.
Even though same sex marriage is illegal in much of the nation and the state goal of eharmony is marriage connections, the State said that they must offer same sex couplings.
eHarmony should have CEASED BUSINESS in the People’s Republic of New jersey!
Or maybe eHomo! LOL.
And another judge elsewhere ruled that a private company must offer muslim employees additional scheduled breaks for prayer time.
Got that? No prayer in public schools but government imposed mandatory prayer time at private corporations.
“Got that? No prayer in public schools but government imposed mandatory prayer time at private corporations.”
Fort Hamilton High School in Brooklyn, NY had prayer time in school for the large Muslim population there. The Christian and Jewish students are not entitled to the same courtesy.
I'd say that deserves a large, obvious YES !
As I understand it, eHarmony set up a parallel site by virtue of a NJ court order. It doesn’t sound as if a hetero would go to that site v. the original. Nor vice versa.
It’s easy for you or me to suggest they shut down, but it’s not our livelihood. Closing down ‘on principle’ also would then deprive those hetero singles of the opportunity to meet compatible people of the opposite sex to form meaningful relationships.
Eharmony made the best of a horrible situation.
It appears that Mr. Warren has sold his soul to mamon.
eHarmony is still discriminating, because they are not offering the same service to homosexual men. They are matching heterosexual men with women, after all...
C’mon people, they were forced into it by the courts.
Can you imagine trying to match two fags on “29 dimensions of compatibility” ?
1) How many reasons do you have for hating and fearing men ?
a) five or ten
b) eleven to a hundred
c) upwards of three billion
d) all of the obove
or
1) What are you most interested in ?
a) young boys
b) old boys
c) any boys
d) all of the above
To correctly match these diseased folk, you’d have to understand their illness.
I don’t wish eHarmony the job. But I don’t blame them for caving to the courts, either. Had they not, the homosexuals would have simply filed elsewhere, again and again.
It seems to me that locating your business operations outside a certain state should preclude that state from having any say in what you offer via the Internet.
Liberals do that, ‘whats right is wrong, whats wrong is right”
