cheerdad Wrote: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???

That is not what I meant. What I was saying is that no one is forbidden from using the site because of who they are. It is just that some people aren't going to find on the site what they are looking for, such as gay or lesbian relationships. Obviously a bi-sexual person could get on there and find a date if that person wasn't looking for a same sex partner. But for pure gay or lesbian persons, eHarmony at least wasn't the site for them.
