The Dating Game: How Homosexuals Are Using eHarmony To Push Their Agenda

Here's today's Washington Watch Daily commentary from FRC Radio:

The online dating service called eHarmony.com may have met its match. Last week, a California lesbian decided to sue the site for refusing to serve homosexuals. Linda Carlson, who initiated the case, says she subscribed to eHarmony to meet other women, but couldn’t because of how the service is arranged. Since its creation, the site has matched couples based on a long questionnaire of shared interests and values—but never have those shared values included homosexuality. When Carlson complained, eHarmony refused to budge. Now, on charges of “discrimination,” Carlson is taking her grievance to court. Founded by Christian Dr. Neil Warren, the site says its purpose is to help couples establish “successful heterosexual marriages.” For Warren, the question isn’t whether eHarmony violates state law but whether Carlson is threatening to violate the company’s moral code. California’s law may protect people based on “sexual orientation,” but it doesn’t do so at the expense of someone else’s religious conviction. This is just another example of homosexuals trying to sue their way into acceptance. But in this case of eHarmony, the court should say e-nough!

I read that a couple got married in Massachusetts less than 4 years ago, now the problem is how do they get a divorce? Seems like a lot of trouble either way. Why is the media so consumed with apparent attention getting tactics that are not contributing to the society at large. A small percentage of the population controlling the thoughts and beliefs of the majority and only because we allow it.

I am a homosexual, however I dont agree there should be any action taken on E-Harmony and the whole suit is unfounded. There are plenty of Gay websites that cater to gay/lesbian dating... I figure we have our own venues... and we do not cater to heterosexuals, why should E-harmony have to be any different... it doesn't and shouldnt have to. I'm actually in agreement here on this particular issue. at most maybe she could have gotten a refund, any further action is just ludicrous and spiteful.

[Randy] says:

I think this is another over-reach lawsuit. It also is an example of how non-discrimination laws can be abused.
