eHarmony forced to offer same-sex dating services; Update: And now, a class-action lawsuit
Scroll down for updates…
So, this is “progress?” eHarmony, a Christian-targeted dating website, gets sued by a gay man demanding that the business match him up with a same-sex partner. The New Jersey Attorney General intervenes on behalf of the gay plaintiff and forces eHarmony to change its entire business model. To be clear: The company never refused to do business with anyone. Their great “sin” was not providing a specialized service that litigious gay people demanded they provide. 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. Sadly, eHarmony has settled . I wish they hadn’t, but I understand the decision given the chilling antics of the anti-Prop. 8 mob. The company agreed not only to offer same-sex dating services on a new site, but also to offer six-month subscriptions for free to 10,000 gay users. Behold the submission:
Coming soon to EHarmony — Adam and Steve.
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 McKinley, 46, who complained to New Jersey’s Division on Civil Rights after being turned down for a subscription in 2005.
The company said that Warren was not giving interviews on the settlement. But attorney Theodore Olson, who issued a statement on the company’s behalf, made clear that it did not agree to offer gay matches willingly. “Even though we believed that the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of our business,” Olson said, “we ultimately decided it was best to settle this case with the attorney general since litigation outcomes can be unpredictable.”
The settlement, which did not find that EHarmony broke any laws, calls for the company to either offer the gay matches on its current venue or create a new site for them. EHarmony has opted to create a site called Compatiblepartners.net.
Warren had said in past interviews that he didn’t want to feature same-sex services on EHarmony — which matches people based on long questionnaires concerning personality traits, relationship history and interests — because he felt he didn’t know enough about gay relationships.
eHarmony had been previously sued by a lesbian looking to force the company to match her up with another woman and by a married man who sought to force the company to hook him up in an adulterous relationship.
Perhaps heterosexual men and women should start filing lawsuits against gay dating websites and undermine their business. Coerced tolerance and diversity-by-fiat cut both ways.

GayPatriot West gives eHarmony’s capitulation thumbs down.
Update 4pm Eastern 11/20. Geez. Now, a California judge has approved a class-action lawsuit by gays against eHarmony. When it rains, it pours:
(onlinedatingmagazine.com – November 20, 2008) A California Superior Court judge has certified a class action lawsuit against eHarmony.com for discrimination against gays and lesbians in California. The news comes one day after eHarmony settled a case in the State of New Jersey where a gay man accused the company of discrimination. In that settlement, eHarmony agreed to open up a service that matches gays and lesbians.
That announcement had no affect in the California case, which is moving forward.

Crikey. With all the other dating websites, this is such a freakin’ joke. Wait until a Muslim demands that all women’s photos be shot in a headscarf so no men get a woody looking at us.
Zing!
I’ll be on the phone in the morning to Hewlett-Packard demanding that they sell me a MacBook Air.
After that, I’ll head over to In ‘n Out and demand they serve me a chicken sandwich and falafel.
Insane.
I wouldn’t have the stomach for the application process.
Can you imagine the questions?
and -how do we co-ordinate the move on the homosexual dating services? ACTION is what we must take NOW!!!and ACTION is louder than words….
No more being PC!!!
C-CS
The above is a good idea… and you can add the idea of stuffing ballot boxes until conservatives are elected too…see how lefties like that idea…hmmmm
I just looked at the terms and conditions for J-Date, the Jewish dating service. They offer both straight and gay matches. There’s nothing in the T&C that says you have to be Jewish to join. I wonder if eHarmony had any disclaimers in their terms and conditions.
Someone else for you to add to your list!
I once worked at a Pizza Hut years ago. Some dude came in and ordered a hamburger.
We don’t have hamburgers here, just pizza. We can make you a hamburger pizza if you like.
No, I want a hamburger!
Dude, what part of Pizza Hut do you not understand?!
Yes, these people do exist.
And we’re supposed to believe not a single one of them would ever sue a church that won’t let them get married in their chapel or officially recognize their marriage???
Riiiiiiiight.
Personally the Mail-Order Bride websites have photos of women from overseas that will stiffen a man’s Resolve more so than the American women I’ve seen on Match.com, eharmony et al…just an observation
Brilliant. Anything else we can do for you folks?
I wish I had a link here, but I was at a family reunion a month ago. My Uncle told me that in his town in Oregon that there was a ballot measure that required campus’ to build transgender (gender neutral) bathrooms thereby increasing property taxes.
According to the supporters, not having gender neutral bathrooms is “discriminatory”.
So, because you decide to go another route with your sexual identity….citizens have to fork over more taxes…
UN-Believable. I give up!
Most of them seem to be doing just fine on craigslist (check it out). This is just insane.
Anyone check to see about any Islamic dating sites providing same-sex matches? Have they filed suit against them too? I mean, lets be fair now.
Hello? Anyone? …..
Was that customer trying to recreate a scene from the 1992 movie starring Michael Douglas movie “Falling Down“?
lol vicki, hmmmmm, making up a questionnaire could be good for some laughs.
All he wanted was a Whomelette.
Yup, just visited FOUR islamic dating sites. They dont have a same sex option….
No Turbin for you! lol
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
love2rumba said:
I dunno, don’t remember anything about that movie – just something about a guy flipping out and shooting people?
This was about 1995, so maybe.
Society’s getting more litigious. Just another sign of the decline of our culture. The squeaky homosexual gets the grease. Or the squeaky environmentalist. Or whoever.
“I got my AIDS on eHarmony dot com!”
#24 – Ya, they even blame Reagan for that…
Lawsuits for AIDS via use of eHarmony in 3…2…1
They’re a##holes, but not stupid. No one wants to wake up in the morning starring in an Al Qaida video.
eHomony.com
The above will not happen…I mean having a spokesperson from CAIR outside one’s bathhouse making hand gestures of beheading is probably more than enough to prevent a lawsuit from a queer advocate because Ibrahim Hooper is.. well.. “misunderstood in the ‘hood“
ROFL
In a muslim homosexual relationship, who wears the burkha?
“Fruits and Nuts”
#24 – OMG LOLZ! Because if there are homosexuals on a dating site they must be spreading AIDS everywhere. I, like, totally get it now!
Geesh. Grow. Up.
This is bizarre beyond words. Essentially what this means is that you can force any business to offer services you want, but that the business does not currently offer.
I see great opportunities: for example, we can force airlines to depart on time or to provide sufficient legroom.
We can also use this to turn ourselves into millionaires. We can force, say, a family doctor to provide highly specialized surgery. Then, when the good doctor gets it wrong, and he/she will, not being qualified and all, we sue for malpractice, damages and a truckload of punitive damages.
If I remember correctly the founder of eharmony (oops I meant ehomony) was an ordained Methodist minister (like Mr. Rogers on PBS)….
When I think of a “pushover” Christian denomination in terms of their leadership and willingness to compromise their own interpretation of scripture, “Methodist” comes to my mind first
…Kind of like asking if the glass is half empty or half full-a question without resolution
Stop that #12 love2rumba!
Unfortunately Coerced tolerance and diversity-by-fiat cut both ways generally does not act both ways unless WE are willing to get a whole lot more active-as in pushy. Diversity and Quota programs always seem to need a victim status as defined by the counter culture. This fits in nicely with MM story “Demented:” Joy Behar disses homeschool students–anything these people can do to attack the family, particularly our children, is a must do. Joy Behar, Queer Nation and type are more of a threat to our children than any loose pit bull- although they all need to be handled the same way.

Is NOW the time for the Second American Revolution?
It’s a shame that the company settled. Free enterprise is dead. Nowadays, when one wants to open a business, one needs to follow, not only silly regulations, but cater to everyone around. Once businesses have been declared “public places”, owners lose all control. Smoking, for example. If a private business on private land wants to let customers smoke, non-smokers can find many other places that cater to them. If a private business wants to offer male/female dating services, the gay ones can either set up their own business, or find one that supplies such services. Not today, though. The age of the small business is over; corporate business is the only way. I wonder how long it will take before Christian churches have to offer other religious services in order to placate any person who feels offended?
Well, Obama’s election is a kind of tacit open season on all those “intolerant, hateful, anti-green and oh yea, bigoted” conservatives. It’s going to get a lot worst — especially in junior/senior high schools where marriage is between two _people_. I’m coming to the sober conclusion that the libs can get their way re-engineering morality here as the majority mind-set in around twenty-five years or so. It’s going to a rough uphill battle for the schools what with scholastic media like Discovery/ History Channels and Science News where whales and windmills are the new ribbons of you being a good caring person (O yea, they’re pushing this crap on elementary students here in Queens). We almost asked for it though, what single-issue voters and philosophical purists eroding the dam. We could’ve pushed Steele long ago, and had the GOP back then pushed Powell as Prez (when he was respectable), it’d taken the shine off the Dems claim of having the first black prez (one of FEW points for blacks to be Republican), which completely dethrones the Republican’s “Lincoln freed the slaves” gambit.
Yes, sadly, I can see conservationism as we know it(?) becoming a dinosaur species before I pass this mortal coil.

It’s always nice to know that you can hire a lawyer to force your agenda onto others.
The sickness in America spreads…
I am seriously disappointed with eHarmony. If I had paid for their services, I’d demand my money back. They compromised rather than fight or fold — that’s not the kind of company I want to do business with. (Besides, what if they matched me to someone who valued conviction as much as they do???)
It’s as if we all fell through the looking glass…
e-harmony is a sham. This is all about the money. No morals, no backbone? No traditional Christian values? See this for what it is: If a “Christian organization” calves that easily, it is NOT a Christian organization, now is it?
A second site will cost e-harmony very little money to set up. it is offering 6 months free for the fags, then in 6 months they start counting the money…e hormoney (hormone ee?) sold out no principles in this move: they have none to sell out.
You took the words right out of my mouth, wernerP, I was wondering the same thing…..
How is it that the courts or government can force a privately owned business to change the services it offers????
I agree with our hostess, they should’ve taken it to court, I think e-harmony would’ve prevailed….although so many courts are stacked with liberal agenda driven judges now, maybe e-harmony wouldn’t have won.
The world is so crazy now. I’ve got a concussion from knocking my head against the wall trying to make sense of all this idiocy!!!
Well, no…it doesn’t work that way. Just like you cannot have any Men’s Private Clubs, for they all need to allow women, but you are allowed to have Women’s Only clubs, nor are you allowed to have Men’s Only Health Clubs, yet you can have Women’s only Health Clubs, just like you can have a Hispanic Club, African-American Caucus/Club, Asian Club, but not a Caucasian Club, and don’t get me started on scholarships, loans, etc., etc., etc., et al…
See, it doesn’t work that way at all.
It is not about TOLERANCE or EQUALITY like these people from whatever group claim it to be. It is about the coplete and utter destruction and integration of any and all traditionally held services, clubs and institutions.
Used to be a pretty exclusive club around here called marriage too Simple enough rule…had to at least have the two parts necessary to create life. Now, you can get beat up, yelled at, threatened, lose your job and money for even suggesting such a thing.
Tolerance and Equality? Don’t make me laugh
Since EHarmony “wants” to service this group of people how about hetrosexuals taking their business elswhere? Other companies might think twice before the cave in the next time these thugs try to strongarm them!
And according to that video, straights and Christians are no longer permitted in The Castro. Or didn’t people see the one guy flamboyantly telling the camera that we are not allowed “In their neighborhood” etc.?
Seems to me they have their “homeland”. What do they need E-Harmony for?
Just goes to show that the sign “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone” has no meaning when the government comes at you with tanks and rockets…and liberal judges…and lawyers…and protected species of special interests.
Sheesh. So much for free enterprise and freedom of association.
This is probably cheaper for them in the long run then paying out all the lawyers fighting this lawsuit. Also watch what happens in 12 months when the site goes belly up due to no one else using it.
Presto said in 48:”Also watch what happens in 12 months when the site goes belly up due to no one else using it.”
I wish our company could get such free advertising. this is a shot in the arm for ehormoney…this was a pr move. I would not be surprised if they didn’t sue themselves.
That is precisely what is needed. You do not win wars by defending. You attack and keep attacking until you win. This sitting and waiting for the next gay onslaught is nonsense.
Jackboot lawyering. Our country is so wacked.
We wouldn’t need to stuff ballot boxes, just prevent leftofascists from doing same.
The homosexuals shut down Catholic Adoption services in New York and heaven knows what else. If they can’t have their “rights”, no one benefits. And they wonder why people are disgusted with them.
Since this country is going to allow minorities to trump the majority, it will never end. Somewhere a line has to be drawn in the sand and a resounding “No” given.
Neil Clark Warren has to decide if money is more important than principles. If he’s truly a Christian, he will shut the service down. I don’t care if he’s doing it under “duress” or not. He still has a choice. As Joshua said in the Bible, “…but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”.
I pray all the Christians who supported him in the beginning withdraw their support if they haven’t already.
Although this was not court directed, I believe we’ve reached a point where civil disobedience is in order where the courts do rule in such asinine ways.
As I have written repeatedly, when you accept and celebrate something that is abnormal and unhealthy, as if it were normal and positive, you turn reason and common sense on its head.
E-Harmony obviously caved in due to the intimidation and bullying tactics that the gay activists have been using to influence businesses nationwide. As I have written in my previous article,”My Views on Homosexuality“, this same tactic was used on the psychiatric profession, 40 years ago, in order to force them to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.
It seems to me Al Gayda has so far only chosen soft targets like Mormons and EHarmony. When will they protest in Watts? C’mon you darlings, take it up a notch!
Change we can count on. It’s not only sites like eHarmony. Take a look at the Girl Scouts on this link. When the Boy Scouts capitulate, it’s all over.
I guess the next question is when will they start targeting our schools for “equality” in education regarding a “normal” lifestyle. They already have sex education in the high schools. What’s to stop them from indoctrinating same-sex education on our children. Perhaps the video of the sperm searching for the egg would be too much for a kid to comprehend in the same-sex video. Disgusting to say the least.
Patronedheart – they’ve already infiltrated the public schools (all grades, K-12) with pro-gay propoganda for quite some time.
The real problem here is that specialization in this industry is getting compromized, lowering the level of service for all.
The e-harmony is not a gay-match site and therefore will not provide a quality service for the gay community. Compare it to ordering Chinese food in a Greek restaurant.
I believe these lawsuits are just more attacks on Christian-run institutions, and are only inspired for this purpose.
Including promoting middle and high school students to explore and experiment with same-sex relationships. This is the newest wave introduced in some schools around the country.
Exactly. That’s all it is. They have no use for a dating service, just like they have no need for a smothered burrito in one Mormon owned restaurant.
If they can get away with intimidation, then they intimidate, and the cameras are right there to get the story and help their agenda right along.
This is not about inclusiveness, but all about beating us over the head until we get our minds right!
One more slice from the salami.
One more straw on the camel’s back.
One more after-dinner mint given to the guy in the Monty Python sketch who ate way, way too much, and ultimately exploded.
It’s one more of the “thousand” knife cuts into the goose that laid the golden egg of our once-wonderful society/nation/culture.
This is enraging.
It’s a blatant act of “culture” war.
Will we and our nation/society/culture just die and disappear, like the gradually boiled frog?
Perhaps and hopefully not.
This act of “culture” war is so damn blatant, that news of it should be relentlessly and loudly announced.
Relentlessly – do not stop; do not accept this; never, ever give up, as Chrurchill said.
…Ch
rurchill….Apologies
In many ways, this reminds me of that woman who wanted to enroll in The Citadel. After a 3 year lawsuit, she was allowed in, but dropped out after a week due to being overweight and out of shape.
She didn’t want in, she just wanted to cause trouble and have her 15 minutes.
I think that’s the same with these jokers. There’s already companies that provide the services they want, they just want to cause trouble and get their name in the news.
eHarmony was not forced to do anything.
They SETTLED a lawsuit, meaning it was consensual.
From the “1972 Gay Rights Platform”: “Repeal all laws governing the age of sexual consent.” “Repeal all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit.” From homosexual activist and pornographer Clinton Fein 2005 article, “The Gay Agenda”: “Homophobic inclinations alone, even without any actions, should be criminal and punishable to the full extent of the law.” “Demand the institution [of marriage] and then wreck it. James Dobson was right about our evil intentions. We just plan to be quicker than he thought.”
The intent is clear, but it’s clear to me that most are still unwilling to engage in this fight.
Translation: “Even though they have it all wrong about us, we just gave up because, after all, we could have lost the court battle anyway.” This is yet another example of how to act spineless in the face of opposition. I know Christians often quote the oft misunderstood verse Jeremiah 29:11 and cling the idea of getting “prospered” having a “hope and a future”, but maybe we should look at this promise that most care not to read: 2 Timothy 3:12-13: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
No, actually it’s like a lunch counter in Mississippi refusing to serve a Black person.
We’ve been there, and seen how that ends.
You lost then, and you will lose again.
Just wait until somebody contracts some disease or HIV from a person they met on one of these sites, and suuuuuuues.
***(confused) troll alert***
So a member of probably one of the most promiscuous sects of society couldn’t find a date and therefore sued a Christian aligned business to find him one… and they acquiesced?
Has this dude heard of a gay bar? Probably take him 5 mins to find a “date”.
This wasn’t about this guy getting a date. It was about them bullying Christians.
This is nothing more than compelled speech. There are a number of alternative for gays and lesbians to find partners online. This is not akin to refusing sevice at a lunch counter. This is an internet website and there a millions of other sites a click away.
This is like walking into a muslim restaurant and demanding bacon.
This is a form of fairness doctrine. YOu provide a service to heterosexual then you should provide it to Homosexuals. Not only is this insane but eHarmony settling? What on earth were they thinking. The judge was social engineering, this would have been overturned. This is tyranny and if we don’t stand up for what is right and what we believe we are entering an era that might lead to civil strife.
How do you figure? No one was preventing any homosexual’s access to the site. No one is stopping homosexuals from marrying. They can do both quite freely. You’re not asking, as Jackie Robinson did, to just play the game. You’re asking for a change in the rules of marriage. What the homosexual activists are requesting would be like Jackie Robinson requesting to add a 4th strike or an additional base.

If eHarmony has a comment section on their website, we should go there and at the least thank them for creating a separate site for this vile issue and keeping it off their main page. This is not the first time they’ve been attacked.
NO. You could not be MORE WRONG. You really need a review of logic.
This person was not refused a service that the business offered. This person demaned a service the business DID NOT OFFER.
Michelle’s analogy was spot on. Yours was off in space.
And that’s the problem with the left. No logic.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep on saying it…
Fight them on their level, with their methods, with their mentality.
Stop taking the high road.
LOL, laddie, such emotional hyperbole is by it’s very nature nothing more than pure nonsense.
To help make Michelle’s point clearer to you: Homoxuality is defined solely by the sexual activity one chooses to enagage in. So, you would have a point if people had been choosing to “do black things”. Otherwise, Nahhh.
However, the total dependence on such desperate and silly stretches to try to find some remote type of “apples and oranges equality” very vividly illustrates that you (nor anyone else, for that matter) cannot make an argument based solely on the merits of the homosexual demand itself.
Uh, no, its more like a person going to that same lunch counter and deciding to order the bratwurst instead of the taco, and demanding special privileges from the government as a result of his decision.
al-Gayda will lose this one, and the backlash that is coming will be worse than you ever imagined.
I am so sorry that eHarmony caved here…they really took the wrong approach, and should have taken their case to the public.
I’ve got to find my niche as a special interest (maybe congentially shy persons) and see if I can find some targets.
This is sickening – and I’m embarrassed to say I live in NJ.
Oh… so not only did they have to offer a service they don’t presently offer… they are being PUNISHED by being forced to offer this service for FREE to gays.
Unbelievable.
Maybe not in this life, but rest assured it’s coming…
So the nazi like tactics of the gay mafia are forcing this business to do something they don’t want to do and may not even be profitable for the business.
Though New Jersey has some great things… like Sam Alito, the Delaware Water Gap, the shore…
It also has a morally bankrupt government, led by the Stuart Smaller financial backer.. Jon “Crash” Corine.
I feel your pain.
Kinda like Air America
Yup, NJ. Reminds me of the time I went into a McDonald’s and absent-mindedly ordered a “Whopper”. I think the girl at the counter asked me something like “Do you know where you are, Sir?”. D’oh!
I agree a course in logic is called for re: Eagle’s awful argument.
