This whole thing is fcked up on so many levels. How are gays allowed to SUE a straight dating site in the first place because they don't include gay options? Do Christians sue Jdate because it's only for Jews? Are whites successfully suing black dating sites because they discriminate against non-blacks? Aren't there a gazillions gay dating sites already? Why aren't straights suing gay dating sites for discrimination? People forget that there is such a thing as RATIONAL discrimination, such as for example, hiring only women to work as Hooters waitresses(and yes some moron of a dude sued Hooters for discrimination in hiring).
Now get this, eharmony already buckled and created a site for gay dating. That's not good enough, now they demand that it be more aggressively advertised. Now eharmony is in a settlement over this.
I find this all disgusting. I have nothing, and I mean NOTHING against gays as individuals, but I hate the gay political movement with a passion. We often hear about how our freedoms are being taken away by government in the form of more surveillance and the patriot act. Yet where are the complaints about this type of freedom being taken away? This is nothing more than some angry gays trying to ram a social agenda down everyone's throats and force everyone to accept their way of life. Someone needs to tell these assh0les that people have a right to not love homosexuality or support it. Nobody is stopping them from creating as many gay dating sites as they please. So why use the courts to force straight sites to pay out money to gays for "harm"? Bunch of bullsh*t.

So they didn't "admit" to wrongdoing, yet set aide millions of dollars for horrific sin of having a dating site for straights. So a gay person can claim they were somehow "harmed" by the policy and cash in big. How the hell one can get harmed by not being allowed to join eharmony takes more imagination than I possess.The firm also would establish a $2 million settlement fund, with about $500,000 set aside for gay, lesbian and bisexual Californians who can show they were harmed by eHarmony's policies.
The company did not admit wrongdoing.
