Frivolous Lawsuit Achieves Counterproductive Aim

eHarmony doesn’t match gays with other gays.  It’s just not a service the dating website provides.  There are hundreds of dating sites out there, and many of them do match homosexuals.  Even so, one particularly angry homosexual decided to sue eHarmony for discrimination.  This is the outcome:

Gays and lesbians seeking partners now may join an eHarmony.com affiliate, under a settlement announced Wednesday by the state Attorney General’s Office.Membership to the same-sex matchmaking service will be free for up to 10,000 new users in the first six months, according to the agreement. The eHarmony.com charge usually is about $150.

The announcement came more than three years after Eric McKinley of Monmouth County, N.J., filed a suit claiming that the matching service violated the state’s Law Against Discrimination because it did not offer same-sex services.

It’s a great victory,” said McKinley, 46, a computer programmer. “I tried to use their Web site, and you simply cannot. You only have two options: a man seeking a woman or a woman seeking a man. I’m a man seeking a man, and obviously I can’t force it to change its interface.”Theodore B. Olson, the lawyer for eHarmony, said the company believed the lawsuit “resulted from an unfair characterization of our business,” but decided to settle because “litigation outcomes can be unpredictable.”

Indeed; you may get an all-retard jury that believes a very small but very vocal minority has the right to sue a private company into doing a completely legal business differently. Isn’t it time, then, that the homosexual dating sites be forced to match heterosexuals?  After all, to refuse to do that would be discriminatory.

It’s not enough to accept homosexuality; you have to actively support it, or you’re a bigot.  And if you don’t accept it, be prepared to get sexually abused by an angry mob.
