This movement just keeps hammering away at every corner.
Can’t I run my business the way I wish? No one is FORCED to use eHarmony.
And if there is a market for the kind of matchmaking they are suggesting, be an entrepreneur and start it up!
Private sites should be allowed to form their own rules as to who and who not to include for their service.
This is the principle of FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION.
If the court allows gays into a service that does not in principle believe in this relationship imagine the repercussion for a site like FREE REPUBLIC. The administrators of this site can be sued by a liberal troll for banning him from this site.
If gays want their own dating and relationship service, they should create their own.
IMO, it’s valid for a private business to refuse service to anyone they choose, for any reason they choose. Only the government should be required by law to be fair.
Great the state is going to sue this company on her behalf.
They shouldn’t exclude them. They should just set them up with a person of the opposite sex. This is like suing a store because it doesn’t carry the red dress you want in the right size. GO TO ANOTHER STORE.
E-Harmony will close the doors before they cave.
Did they have a “Men seeking farm animals” section?
Maybe conservative Christians should insist gays hire them in their bathhouses.
You think? Why? I’m unfamiliar with the situation.
If the plaintiff wins this suit, the next thing they will sue for is that eHarmony is not setting them up with same-sex partners who match their profile who were not seeking a homosexual relationship.
The same law that is being used in this case applies equally well to that scenario.
They don’t have a legal leg to stand on. How any court could force a private company to do business the way they don’t want to do, would be beyond me.
From now on, I demand all vegetarian restaurants to serve steak!!!
What if the owner of E-Harmony was born with a propensity to reject sodomites?
They already have laws against discrimination for rentals in my area.
That’s pretty much a business.
They have their own publication such as Bay Windows and The Boston Phoenix. The dating ads are in the back next to the psychiatric ads.
Crimany...AREN’T THERE ALREADY ENOUGH gay escort services and Datelines for lesbians on the WEB without them having to act ugly and pound the heck out of an organization try to serve the rest of us?
Is there a gayHarmony.com? Heteros should sue them.
