Online dating service eHarmony has agreed to create a new Web site — "Compatible Partners" — for gay and lesbian users, the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General announced. Created as part of a settlement with Eric McKinley, a gay man from New Jersey, the Web site will provide services for users seeking same-sex partners by March 31, New Jersey Division on Civil Rights Director J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo said. eHarmony, which was founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren in 2000, said the settlement was triggered by a Law Against Discrimination complaint filed by McKinley against the online service on March 14, 2005. As part of the agreement, eHarmony will pay McKinley $5,000 and will provide him a one-year complimentary membership. eHarmony — which was not found in violation of the law — also agreed to ensure that same-sex users will be matched using the same or equivalent technology used for its heterosexual clients. It will also post photographs of same-sex couples in its "Diversity" section of its Web site and in advertising materials. "Even though we believed that the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of our business, we ultimately decided it was best to settle this case," eHarmony legal counsel Theodore Olson said in a statement. "eHarmony looks forward to moving beyond this legal dispute, which has been a burden for the company, and continuing to advance its business model of serving individuals by helping them find successful, long-term relationships."

WHy does it seem like so many people have been infected with the virus...*Gayitis*
Sued right out of free markets by the Gaystapo.
I wonder what different questions will be asked on the gay dating questionaire ?
Maybe how long have you been a sexual pervert?
Barney Frank can be their new spokesman.
Well.. if it’s geared towards homosexuals it’s a must to know how big ‘it’ is. It’s all they seem to care about.
Well, sure, fine, long as they keep the “gay” dating list separate and distinct from the “hetero” dating list.
Some people are not meant to mix.
Ever.
I thought there was already a gay dating service. It is arranged by a series of taps and foot motions within a public bathroom stall.
The beginning of the exchange: R U 1 2?
Not gonna do it.
liberaltarians trying to force people to accept gays
Why limit things to humans?
“Chocolate Lab seeks dating relationship with human; gender not important. My hobbies are chasing sticks, watering fire hydrants, etc. Short or long term relationship desired.”
Why does a non government entity have to service something they feel is out of their market?
I thought the same thing....
People like the Feminine Man the Butchy girl, the Pregnant Man, the Bi-Sexual deviant use to be confined to the Circus..
They went from the Circus to the Closet to being the Biggest pain in the arses for the rest of civilized society.
Heterosexuals need to sue gay sites for hateful discrimination.
So like SNL, will have to change the name to HeHarmony
1. Do you pitch or catch?”
2. Which best decribes you: Indian, cowboy, contruction worker, sailor?
. . . .
Females
1. What color flanel plaid do wear?
2. On a quiet evening, which do you prefer to listen to: Indigo girls or Dixie Chicks?
3. How soon do you want to move in together?
A libertarian would never force a private business to do this.
Liberals, on the other hand, would.
The queer on the right looks like Nancy Pelosi.
Pre-Op.
Males:
“Who wants fudge?”
LOL
"According to LifeSiteNews.com (Sept. 8 [2006]), the neocon Fox News channel donated $10,000 to the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA)."
I wonder how things like that would work? It’d be hilarious for straights to sue G&L sites for discrimination .....

“Why does a non government entity have to service something they feel is out of their market?”
With a question like that you are really out of touch with reality. Where did you go to school? What on earth did they teach you?
/
the liberaltarians. They want drugs to be legalized...but they also want free needles. They say they are pro-choice but they’ll get you if you are a doctor that refuses to perform abortions out of principle.
They are middle to upper class and don’t want socialism but they do want to go after traditional values.
They will never stop. Homosexuality needs to be reclassified as a mental(or emotional) illness.
Why not no service for gay couples if they want to specialize in 99% of the populations?
Government places like the DMV have to cater to everything under the sun.
I would think some company that wants to be only serving the heterosexual community could do so.
I bet this was NOT a court ruling but an out-of court settlement.
If this were a court ruling all the gay places could now be forced to service heterosexuals.
I think this was just people going after deep pockets eHarmony.
Extortion! Plain and simple. Where is the outrage over this?
The Dixie Chicks are traitorous, not lesbians.
"Dr. Neil Clark Warren earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The University of Chicago, where he also served as a counselor and adjunct faculty member. He received his Masters of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and completed his undergraduate degree at Pepperdine University."
I've been skeptical enough about eHarmony, but to push the envelope even further makes me think his Masters of Divinity isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Let me help you with that!
M4M Puddingmouth pedofiles
On second thought, Barney would be a better spokesman for a “gay” escort service.
A gay helping his partner get seated at the bar. “Can I push in your stool?”
File this one under “I demand you take my money, even though you may lose your business in providing me a service”.
Unless I am gravely mistaken, aren’t there Gay matchmaking sites online already? For one group to DEMAND that a possibly non-fiscally viable enterprise be undertaken by someone else, with no financial risk inherent upon the group is utterly insane.
How about “I DEMAND that Boeing make a plane with 16 Jet engines capable of flying at 15mph and carries 3 passengers.”
Certainly, if this flops, who is expected to take the financial risk? What happened to freedom? How can a group demand that I risk my retirement and build a product that they happen to want on the market - under my personal brand??
the / = sarc tag. Maybe I should have /sarc - ed.
I agree.
I figured so, but in case we had lurkers I went a little further with what I meant.
Keep in mind, probably many who aren’t memebers read our stuff.
Let’s just pray they learn something.
