eHarmony Forced to Provide Same-sex Dating Services
GayPatriot — ... romance with the types of people with whom they hope to find intimacy. Just as eHarmony should be free to focus on heterosexual romance, so should gay.com be free to promote gay relationships. What is it which so upsets this man about a service which caters to heterosexuals? So what? We don’t see straight people trying to gain access to services which cater to those seeking same-sex relationships. Michelle has a point when she suggests that they should try to gain access to such services: Perhaps heterosexual men and ...

The Corner on National Review Online — ... ] This doesn't seem an encouraging development : The Pasadena-based dating website, heavily promoted by Christian evangelical leaders when it was founded, has agreed in a civil rights settlement to give up its heterosexuals-only policy and offer same-sex matches. EHarmony was started by psychologist Neil Clark Warren, who is known for his mild-mannered television and radio advertisements. It must not only implement the new policy by March 31 but also give the first 10,000 same-sex registrants a free six-month subscription. That was one of the things I asked for, said Eric ...

OK, I’m confused now.  Malkin : Gay man’s lawsuit forces Christian matchup website to offer same-sex dating services.  This case is akin to a meat-eater suing a vegetarian restaurant for not offering him a ribeye or a female patient suing a vasectomy doctor for not providing her hysterectomy services. I thought the gay marriage movement wanted other people’s religion off them. So what’s with getting on other people’s religion? I thought it was supposed to be about tolerance, to each his, her, he/she’s own. But I like that vegetarian restaurant idea. She might be on to ...

eHarmony Forced to Create a Dating Service for Gay Singles
Hit & Run — ... I've never bought the argument that gay marriage—i.e., the government's evenhanded recognition of relationships between couples, without regard to sexual orientation—is a way of forcing "the gay agenda" onto people who object to it. But this coerced agreement, compelling a private business to provide a service it did not want to provide, certainly is. As Michelle Malkin notes, "this case is akin to a meat-eater suing a vegetarian restaurant for not offering him a ribeye or a female patient suing a vasectomy doctor for not providing her ...

Gateway PunditMichelle Malkin wrote today that eHarmony, a Christian-targeted dating website, was recently sued by a gay man demanding that the business match him up with a same-sex partner.

One of my very reliable LCR Board insiders tells me a shocking fact: “Log Cabin is over $150,000 in debt.” And nearly the only source of income to Log Cabin lately is from none other than the Gay Left’s version of George Soros: the infamous Tim Gill. We have tracked Gill’s ties to Soros and Log Cabin extensively over the years here at GayPatriot. eHarmony forced to offer same-sex dating services So, this is “progress?” eHarmony, a ...
