Easy to resolve, start a “eHomony”?

Sounds like a website dedicated to Southern breakfast food.

No, that would be "eGrits", not to be confused with "eGrets" which has pictures of long necked birds.

eHarmony "has long rankled the gay community with its failure to offer a 'men seeking men' or 'women seeking women' option."

I'm sure the policy comes straight (no pun intended) from their legal department.They'd surely get sued by every pervert who contracted AIDS from a fellow perv he "met" there.

“The trio of lesbians three houses down...”

Sheesh, where do you live?

“The Gay Lobby Takes on eHarmony”

Well, eHarmony’s founder wanted to distance himself from the guy
who gave him tons of free publicity (Dr. Dobson of “Focus On The Family”)
in the early days of eHarmony.

CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Warren, you’ll get to meet your new friends in court!
I guess Warren will just be happy he won’t have to associate with
guys like Dr. Dobson anymore.

(When Warren’s brush-off of “Focus on The Family” went public,
Dobson gave a very gracious and classy announcement about the situation)

Here’s a link to and excerpt of story about
Neil Clark “Use ‘Em and Lose ‘Em” Warren
and his distancing from Dobson:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-05-18-eharmony_x.htm

(snip)
A psychologist with a divinity degree, Warren has emerged from the
Christian community — three of his 10 books on love and dating were
published by conservative Focus on the Family — to become one of the
Internet’s most unlikely entrepreneurs.

(snip)

Warren is trying to distance himself from Focus on the Family
and its founder James Dobson, a longtime friend.

Warren says he will no longer appear on Dobson’s radio show,
and he recently bought back the rights to the three books Focus on
the Family published

(snip)

“We’re trying to reach the whole world — people of all spiritual
orientations, all political philosophies, all racial backgrounds,”
Warren says. “And if indeed, we have Focus on the Family on the top of
our books, it is a killer.

This is getting scary. So now a commercial enterprise has to be compelled to cater to a given sexual orientation? Next thing y’know, they’ll be suing Cowboy bars for not having a Gaydies Night.

from the article:

Could you imagine the outcry from gays if someone tried to force a gay website to provide dating services for heterosexuals? Or a religious group that promotes heterosexual marriage demanding a float in a gay pride parade?

...People are different. Not every business wants to or is capable of serving every person, and whom a business chooses to serve is its private decision.

The biggest problem with gay activism is that they want to be treated as special or as victims when it suits them, and as "just like anybody else" when it suits them.


Actually, there are some good ideas here. Some hetero sites should mount a class-action suit against gay dating sites and demand hetero matching.

Why not “eHornyMe”?

Homosexual activists and their supporters (including the quiet homosexuals who do not denounce the Nazi tactics of their brethren and sistren) want to dominate and silence the rest of us. The 98+% who aren’t homosexuals.

Here are a couple of more articles, I pinged one out - (the more the better, so people see what they’re up to):

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1843602/posts?page=1
Dating service sued over lack of gays

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1842666/posts
eHarmony sued for excluding gays

Basically, they want to ruin, pervert and destroy everything. Are we going to let them, is the question we should all be asking ourselves.

You don’t think the owners have the right to monitor activity?

I sincerely hope somebody at eHarmony replied, “It is our F’ing business and we will run it however we damn well see fit. Matchmaking is hardly a necessity.”

In a certain western suburb of Cleveland. We are also getting a lot of new Section 8 (or whatever they call it this year) neighbors. As soon as our kids are gone...

I too tried them for free. They kept sending me tips about old women. I guess they didn't listen to what I wanted.

Already there: It's called Craigslist

Of course what craigslist lacks is a 29 point psychological matching system that is designed to put compatible... oh, right... heterosexuals together.

“And they stole the damn rainbow! My neighbors have this nice rainbow wind thing. They are gay.”

I agree! We should sue them for stealing the rainbow.

I've had a long standing feud with the NBA for refusing to draft short, fat, white guys with no game what-so-ever. I refuse to attend any of their games here in Pittsburgh and don't support our local franchise. I watch football and hockey instead.

I don't know where they got this "gay" crap.

It was a deliberate cover word to hid behind.
Society, including most on FR, has fallen for it and uses the cover term instead of saying "pervert."

(Wouldn't want to offend a pervert you know.)

“There’s nothing sillier that two people of the same gender having sex.”

Such a simple statement. Such power in the truth. Twelve words put it all in perspective. I’ve always equated gay sex to trying to multiply a number by zero. It’s fruitless.

How long will it be before homosexuals try suing the Catholic Church for refusing to declare their vice to be okay with God?

Some folks just don't understand the concept of freedom of association. But then, there was a gay bar in Australia that won the legal right to deny entrance to heterosexuals just recently, so they've probably got the idea already...at least when it serves their purposes.
