eHarmony to Provide Gay Dating Service After Lawsuit
Fox News ^ | Nov 19th, 2008

Posted on 11/19/2008 3:21:06 PM PST by TaraP

Online dating service eHarmony has agreed to create a new Web site — "Compatible Partners" — for gay and lesbian users, the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General announced. Created as part of a settlement with Eric McKinley, a gay man from New Jersey, the Web site will provide services for users seeking same-sex partners by March 31, New Jersey Division on Civil Rights Director J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo said. eHarmony, which was founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren in 2000, said the settlement was triggered by a Law Against Discrimination complaint filed by McKinley against the online service on March 14, 2005. As part of the agreement, eHarmony will pay McKinley $5,000 and will provide him a one-year complimentary membership. eHarmony — which was not found in violation of the law — also agreed to ensure that same-sex users will be matched using the same or equivalent technology used for its heterosexual clients. It will also post photographs of same-sex couples in its "Diversity" section of its Web site and in advertising materials. "Even though we believed that the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of our business, we ultimately decided it was best to settle this case," eHarmony legal counsel Theodore Olson said in a statement. "eHarmony looks forward to moving beyond this legal dispute, which has been a burden for the company, and continuing to advance its business model of serving individuals by helping them find successful, long-term relationships."

Well.. if it’s geared towards homosexuals it’s a must to know how big ‘it’ is. It’s all they seem to care about.

Well, sure, fine, long as they keep the “gay” dating list separate and distinct from the “hetero” dating list.

Some people are not meant to mix.

Ever.

I thought there was already a gay dating service. It is arranged by a series of taps and foot motions within a public bathroom stall.

The beginning of the exchange: R U 1 2?

This is the service that picks out matches from questions you answer.
So now if you don't answer your questions right, you may be considered for a gay relationship when looking for an opposite?

Not gonna do it.

Why limit things to humans?
“Chocolate Lab seeks dating relationship with human; gender not important. My hobbies are chasing sticks, watering fire hydrants, etc. Short or long term relationship desired.”

Why does a non government entity have to service something they feel is out of their market?

I thought the same thing....
People like the Feminine Man the Butchy girl, the Pregnant Man, the Bi-Sexual deviant use to be confined to the Circus..

They went from the Circus to the Closet to being the Biggest pain in the arses for the rest of civilized society.

Heterosexuals need to sue gay sites for hateful discrimination.

A libertarian would never force a private business to do this.

Liberals, on the other hand, would.
