Hannity goes for Brokeback (Hannity Has a Dating Service?)
LA Times ^ | 28 November 2006 | Joel Stein

Posted on 11/28/2006 10:38:15 AM PST by shrinkermd

HAVE I EVER wondered what a wonderful world it would be if only my fans could get together, talk about how great I am and fall in love over their joint love for me? Sure, but unlike Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, I haven't done anything about it. At Hannity.com, in addition to enjoying the book club (Newt Gingrich, Jeff Foxworthy), song club (Charlie Daniels Band, Martina McBride), photos (Hannity's Insanity in Phoenix) and comic books ("Liberality for All" is set in 2021 and has a bionic Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North and a man born on Sept. 11, 2001, fighting to save a U.S. controlled by the U.N., including Ambassador Osama bin Laden), visitors can log on to Hannidate.

Conservatives need late-night, out-of-town hookups just as much as liberals. They also, it seems, need some hot man-on-man action. If you pull down the menu on Hannidate, you can select "I am a male, seeking a male." This was surprising because not even eHarmony allows same-sex pairings. Stranger still for a Fox News commentator's site, you can select ZIP Codes in Beverly Hills, Provincetown and San Francisco.

It's very possible that the site designer just put that in as he always did for dating sites. I doubt Sean would have requested that, although he may not have thought to specifically ask for that NOT to be an option, either.

He's always said he was a conservative, with the same type of libertarian bent Reagan had. There's nothing new in that.

I bet the same sex option is gone before the day's over.

Better be. A lot of people's opinion of Sean will go down the toilet (mine included) if it stays up.

See 18. It can be his own site but still have a generic underlying software.

Last pronouncement I heard from Hannity was that he's now a libertarian.

He is, sadly, a Republican, libertarian, conservative and Christian in that order.

Somebody shoved a mirror up Hannity's rear years ago and he's been admiring the view ever since...

YEah, I think your right. In fact the interview shows that Hannity has no problems with it and why. I suspect Hannity is counting extra Christmas money now for all the people that sign up and get exposed to his dating site after this lol

Relax, everyone - it looks like Hannity is using an out of the box solution from a group called "Web Scribble Solutions". See Link. He just didn't get it personalised enough.

It looks like Hanity outsourced the dating service to an existing dating service (makes sense), so he probably inherited their standard universal dating database model, which includes homosexual mode.

I doubt he spent much effort on the service and uses it as a novelty to draw in visitors/listeners. It is caveatted with disclaimers. And if he decided to disable the homo mode, I'm sure the ACLU, etc. would be jumping all over it. I'm sure the outsourced service does cull through the posts to keep it from getting too outrageous. After all it is a relationship site not a sex site.

Looks like a certain LA Times writer needs to get a life. Maybe that is why he was cruising HaniDate. :)

Maybe this has been posted but a Michelle Malkin article from earlier this year is linked below. Consider the source of the original article (Joel Stein):

Don't bet on it. Hannity has been addressing this issue for weeks and, apparently, has no intention of changing his website's policy.

Going soft on these kinds of issues is one of the reasons, the Republicans are no longer in charge. Apparently, Hannity is equally intimidated by homosexual activists.
