EKY Sportster Wrote:eHarmony has not discriminated! At no time did they forbid to allow anyone of any race, religion, sexual orientation or so forth from using their services. It is just a case of where they didn't offer the services that this homosexual person was looking for. Well if I want a car, I wouldn't be looking for it at Lowes. I'd go to a car dealership. Discrimination occurs when a person is not permitted to enter a business or use a business' services because of their race, religion, and so forth. Big difference!!
UH....yea they did...thus this lawsuit.
A friend of mine, who is gay.....when eHarmony came out, tried to use their service to find a date. He did receive an email from the staff, very nicely stating that their company did not accomodate persons who were gay/lesbian. This was a VERY nice letter and he didn't think anything about it. It was no big deal. But after some more thought about this, (I can't believe I am going to say this...lol) but I do have to take back my earlier post and agree with the majority on this. Although, I do not agree with some of the analogies that have been presented, some actually have been quiet ridiculous, but....this compnay should not have been forced to find a date of gay/lesbian people. But, then again, government has forced companies to make sure they hire percentages of people, based on community population, of minorities...Affirmative Action. A great example of this is flight attendants. 98% of flight attendants are female. It took a lawsuit for airline companies to hire male flight attendants. Years ago, it took a law suit for airlines to allow their flight attendants to get married if they wanted too, start a family, be able to work past 28. So, I guess it all in the eye of the beholder. Make sense???
