E-Harmony Is Anti-Gay?

Well, it looks like the E-Harmony Dating site is being sued by for discriminating based on sexual orientation. Turns out they don’t offer their services for gays, lesbians, or bi-sexuals. Here’s the skinny…
A lawsuit alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Linda Carlson, who was denied access to eHarmony because she is gay.
Lawyers bringing the action said they believed it was the first lawsuit of its kind against eHarmony, which has long rankled the gay community with its failure to offer a "men seeking men" or "women seeking women" option.
They were seeking to make it a class action lawsuit on behalf of gays and lesbians excluded from the dating service.
eHarmony was founded in 2000 by evangelical Christian Dr. Neil Clark Warren and had strong early ties with the influential religious conservative group Focus on the Family.
It has more than 12 million registered users, and heavy television advertising has made it one of the nation’s biggest Internet dating sites.
The company said the allegations of discrimination against gays were false and reckless.
You know what gets me about this? E-Harmony is a private company. They can cater to anyone they want to. There are tons of dating sites out there that cater to gays and lesbians, why should they care if E-Harmony wants to cater to them?
Besides, if they were to find out how much E-Harmony sucks, they probably wouldn’t even bother wasting their time with it.
