Default This isn't Gay Rights.

Someone I know put it bluntly, suing e-harmony because they don't want (or can't) to provide services for gays is like suing a napkin company for not making toilet paper.

Suit forces eHarmony to offer gay dating service | U.S. | Reuters

This is definitely a case of homosexuality having a negative effect on the straight man.

Don't gay people have their own corner of the internet to meet each other already?

Yea and I realize most of them make use of it if they're in to that sort of thing, but this guy had to get on e-harmony's nuts about not offering same-sex pairing.

I bet it's the lesbians bitching, oh wait the bitcher was a dude. I dono. all groups have retarded bitchers that needa bitch about something. I remember reading an article about GLAAD or whatever getting pissed off at the latest Simpsons episode because Nelson says to Milhouse* that the Great Pumpkin is gay.

This is real dumb.

Some straight guy should go file a lawsuit against adam4adam.com because we have straight rights and if I want to find a woman on their website I BETTER BE ABLE TO.

See how stupid that sounds? I think someone should go do it.

Government shouldn't have any jurisdiction over this.

I am calling a lawyer and filing a lawsuit against every gay dating site I can find calling for straight dating services if this bullshit is going to continue.

And I am going to become rich doing so.

If I am not mistaken, eharmony preaches that anyone can find their "mate." A little false advertisement. Gay sites will let you sign up for them, but you wont find anything you want. Gay sites wont stop you from trying to find someone, but I don't think you will find anyone if you aren't gay. Eharmonoy downright refused this person.

Yes, you'll lose because their sites say it's for gays.

The sites say they are gay dating sites. Eharmony says dating site, not straight only dating site.

Pretty ridiculous lawsuit.

Settlement != government forcing them to do anything. If anything they settled to avoid being forced to label the mainsite as 'x/y only'.

Actually,

There are straight people on gay.com. [haven't been on that shit for almost 2 years now so I could be wrong, but I do remember seeing straight people on it, never touched the other sites, they're all shit anyway]

And you people are fucking retarded.

Eharmony is fucking terrible anyways. They reject straight people all the time after taking their money..

If you have to use a pay-to-date service stick with Match or Chemistry, or your local alternative weekly fetish section.
