A former eHarmony customer who objected to the company's new outreach to homosexuals but was denied a refund says the company now apparently is changing its response.
The customer, who asked that his name not be revealed, told WND that a followup e-mail from the "eHarmony office of the president" confirmed that his account was closed and a refund was being processed as he requested.
The issue arose when the dating service, which originally described itself as being founded on Christian principles of long-term husband-and-wife relationships, moved into the "gay" market with a new homosexual-oriented website called Compatible Partners.
The reader wrote to the Pasadena, Calif.-based company with the message: "Please refund my money immediately. I will not support a site that places profit over morals."
The company responded:
"We are sorry to hear that you are wishing to leave the eHarmony community. It is our goal to help you become one of the 236 members we have, on average, getting married every day.
"We are unable to process your request for a refund. Your current subscription is active through 06/17/2009 and we would love to help you make the most of your remaining time."

Oops! Sorry folks I copied and pasted the wrong words. It should read “’Gay’ promo objections get eHarmony attention” Admin Moderator please edit the title accordingly.
I might be wrong, but is eHarmony the one that was sued by a homo group and won? I think the decision was that eharmony HAD to open up to homos.
Yes, eHarmony caved and agreed to open a ‘compatible partners’ gay site
They didn't have to cave, they had to if they wanted to maintain the same profit levels, It was about money and now they are a mating service for homosexuals. Would you own a business that did that, I wouldn't.
I probably should have said the decision by the court was that they had to do it to stay in business. They chose the almighty dollar.
No, I would not have. I'd go to the poorhouse first.
Me too, some of our failings and mistaken compromises sneak up on us but the EHarmony owner made this decision with his eyes wide open
