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.

No kidding, I met my wife, and my brother met his wife on CatholicMatch.com. On CatholicMatch.com, you have to answer questions related to the Catholic faith.
It is difficult for me to imagine that a site — a private business — would be forced to accomodate immorality against their will. It does, unfortunately seem to be going that way though.
Okay...That there’s FUnnie!
The way things are heading, Christians will soon be unable to enter a wide variety of professions unless they agree to compromise their beliefs to accommodate the liberal zeitgeist.
First they forced Christian ethics out of government, then schools, the armed forces, public spaces including privately-owned malls, hospitals and charities. Now they are trying to force Christian ethics out of businesses. Then they will go for churches themselves if they are any still standing for Christianity.
I’m not real sure I understand why they had to agree to this....
They are an internet outfit...could they simply tell NJ to bug[ger]-off?
What is New Jersey’s stick?
Adam and Steve.
I hope eHarmony survives; they are innocent victims of predatory lawsuits. I would suggest that eHarmony not advertise for unwanted customers. They should charge gays who use their service against their will the same membership rates, run them through the same software, and ... oops ... find no matches for which their software has any data to support the pairing. Cost per member - $50 per month or whatever the going rate is. Number of matches found - zero. As much as I disapprove of rip-offs, when a customer demands that you provide service against your will, and a judge backs him in violation of the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment, I think going through the motions is a good answer. No doubt, the founder of eHarmony would donate the money to a worthy and appropriate cause.
"Sorry judge, you ordered me to provide them with a membership opportunity, so I did. This is the best software I've got, and I don't know how to make it produce better results in the absence of data on what leads to lifelong commitment for the members. If you write the software for me, I'll use your software and see how it works. Otherwise, I don't know how to do what you're ordering any better than what I'm doing now, and neither does anyone else."
If a judge will order a privately owned business to enact gay friendly policies, then what makes anyone think that same judge wont order eHarmony to develop software to match those fudgepackers.
And if eHarmoney does not comply.... they will be held in contempt of court and fined heavily.

The next step is to legally bar clients from stating a preference.
Not to mention that the business has outside investors who wouldn't let him shut it down.
Second will be Craven Morecock.
Maybe its time to start a bunch of nuisance lawsuits against gay-based businesses who refuse to accomidate normal people? This wont stop until some gay oxes get gored.
I know it’s a huge hit, but I think he should make a dramatic statement. You’re right: the outside investors would want a say. NCW can consult with financial people and find out how best to divest from the company. But I think it’s important that he walk away rather than promote — albeit, under duress — something I assume he believes is morally wrong.
30 dimensions of compatibility?
I wasn’t aware that compatibility between faggots required anything more complex than mutual presence in a public restroom.
And Holden McGroin will be waiting to jump in.
So if you sign up now for eHarmony pay very close attention to which boxs you check off.
Phil McKrakken of bowling fame? He was hooked up with Vanessa Angel?
I’d set this up (then after the intial fee spin it off into it’s own org, then let it go die): If I were NCW!
