In 2005, the company was sued for discrimination of same-sex couples. To settle a lawsuit, eHarmony in 2009 launched Compatible Partners, a site for gay and lesbian singles.

When it did so, Warren says 350,000 of its members fled eHarmony out of principle. The company originally started as a Christian dating site and Warren himself is an evangelical.

“We’ve suffered from the contentiousness of that topic,” Warren said, who added that it wasn’t about being anti-gay.

“We didn’t want to pretend to be experts on gay and lesbian couples,” said Warren. “We’re not anti-gay at all ...It’s a different match.”

Warren says the company — which uses its patented algorithm to connect people based on 29 dimensions of compatibility — is now seeing success in matching up gay and lesbian singles on Compatible Partners.

Imho, Warren should have either appealed the court decision, or closed up shop. His immortal soul is surely worth more than whatever money he would have lost.

We’re not anti-gay at all

That's unfortunate. Homosexual conduct is intrinsically disordered; it is inherently evil.
