I specifically posted this article because it seems to be unbiased.
Here's my question for you -- why is a private company being forced to compromise its values? Why is it okay in this case, whereas if one were to sue a vegetarian restaurant for not serving meat, we'd all laugh at how ridiculous an idea that is?
Any thoughts?

it may be a private company but it seems like theyre going out of their way to pick on a whole group of people...if you dont support being gay w/e thats your own opinion but youre gonna go out and start a website dedicated to love and helping people find but than youre going to use it to alienate gays? doesnt sound very moral to me.

Yeah, I don't like this ruling. There are plenty of gay dating web sites, why can't there be a straight dating web site? This ruling could potentially put this site out of business by alienating it's straight users.

what is interesting to me is that it's okay to have a specialized gay matching site for gays only yet not have one for heterosexuals.
what is happening to freedom in this country? apparently businesses can be cornered by government into doing things that are against the business' values.
this is becoming a joke. eHarmony is not "going out of their way" to persecute a group of people, it was simply founded to match up straight men and women to create heterosexual relationships. the extensive, expensive research done that makes eHarmony as successful as it is was based on what made HETEROSEXUAL relationships work.
why single out eHarmony?
this is getting to be ridiculous. people who are offended by this need to stop feeling victimized; they're creating it in their heads.

I am glad he did this. eHarmony does not just exclude gays, they exclude lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals, crossdressers, anyone into BDSM, against religion, and anyone that claims to be depressed, sad, angy, or anything they deem not "perfect". The internet is filled with such stories.
They are Nazis in their approach. Thousands have been kicked off for such trival things as not having jobs! There are also rumors that many minorites have been discriminated against, too.
And when you write them to ask why you were booted, the e-mails just bounce back
Cowards, and Nazis. I am glad someone sued them!

While I think websites shouldn't have to be scrutinized on their content - gay cruising sites shouldn't have to take straights, etc. - I think a site SHOULD be able to exclude based on a general focus. BUT that said, I think E-Harmony is SELLING people having life long, fulfilling relationships to people that haven't been able to find them. Excluding gay's from that outcome is really short sited.
