Online dating service eHarmony is adding another personality trait to its 29 dimensions of computability.

The California-based company will begin providing same-sex matches under as part of a settlement with New Jersey's Civil Rights Division.

Garden State resident Eric McKinley filed a complaint against the online matchmaker in 2005.

I met my wife on christiancafe.com. Obviously not as high profile, but I still wonder how long until they are also required to put a “sexual orientation” selection box on their profiles?

Move the company off shore and obey God rather than men!

I wonder how long until Bible-believing churches will be forced to employ homosexuals as preachers. Seriously, it doesn’t seem that far off. The coming demoncrat government will use everthing in its power, including yanking tax-exempt status selectively, harassing Christians and continuing its assault on life.

Whether it works or not is of no consequence.

The important thing is that gays have forced their vlaues into law and we must accept it.

I hope eHarmony fails because of this. If the company were mine, I would stick to my values - and stick to a working business plan - before I would allow this.

I agree that this is outrageous. Why does every business venture have to accommodate the tastes of every possible consumer? I think Neil Clark Warren should announce that he will not compromise his principles — Christian or free-market — and shut eharmony down.

Not too long.

The FoCA will eliminate the ability of hospitals, doctors, and pharmacists to refuse abortion services based on religious or conscience reasons.

“Having met my wife on eHarmony, this is a joke. People complain about their fees now. How much will people pay for a service that has no confidence it will work?”

The left wins again. The fees dont matter. It doesnt matter to them if a gay never ever used eharmony. Their goal was to force them to accept perverts, and they did. Once again a private interest was minding its own business and was attacked by leftists who forced them to do their bidding.

More proof radical gay extremists are more interested in fighting heterosexuality than in making life better for gays and lesbians.

Of course, there’s an easy solution. Tweak the matching program to optimize for maximum INCOMPATIBILITY.

i.e. match bodybuilder types with fat guys, etc. . . .

When, after a year, it goes out of business for lack of working. . . and they’re not requiring EHarmony to optimize for gay matches. . . .

Anyway, there are other online match sites that do cater to gays. It’s not like they HAVE to use eHarmony.

They just want to FORCE eHarmony to offer this. No one is allowed to not be affirming of the homosexuals.

With the money this dufus spent on lawyers, he could have built his own gay-centric dating site and made it any way he saw fit.

Its not like this is radical new technology, or that eharmony has a monopoly.

They get a separate website, just for them. Its like what they have is not good enough for them, that they seek to force heterosexual folks to notice them. Yes, they are that insecure in their sexual identity.

I thought it was Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald who were the first to be matched...
