True but that doesnt mean they should offer it if they dont want to.
I would offer it only because money is money more clients more money but if I smelled that I was being "strong armed" I would not offer it.
They are after all a private co .
So from now on, American Airlines will also sell front row seats to men, and all women have to sit in the seats by the bathroom. It is a private company, so it can do whatever it wants right?
So why the marches, violence against old women, invasion of church services and hatred spewed while blaming blacks in California for the passage of Prop 8? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they all go to the polls and let their votes speak for them?
Can we say: Hypocracy/double standards?
Simple "mommy", because a majority cannot decide on a minority's rights.

Oh gag me! The business model of American Airlines is to fly people to and from their destinations...nothing to do with their genders. The business model of eHarmony is to provide a dating service to heterosexuals. Your argument is pathetic!

yes and no.If you agree to a HOA housing area,they can.There are many instances.I know what you are saying and agree to a point but there is also individual rights to this country and the right of people to group together and associate with who they want.
Gays are not being banned from having gay dating sites,if they were then that would be a case of discrimination.And if there isn't enough gay dating sites then in that case there is a perfect opportunity for someone to start one and profit from it....
Being included is not a special right. No special accomodations are needed to include gay people.
It appears to be quite the opposite as eharmony is now required to set up an alternate service at their expense. It was a conservative heterosexual dating website and purposefully catered to those people. It's a private, not a public company and it's not depriving anyone of anything. If same sex people want to date one another then go to a gay site.
Pretty soon the government will be regulating who we can have as friends or who we can date. Make sure it's all fair and we are not "discriminating".
These tactics by the guy suing eharmony are the same as the Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton thugs extorting money from private companies.
I think it might be time to start suing gay only sites. After all as a heterosexual I am being excluded!

I'm sorry for the confusion but my previous post referred to Christian-based companies who serve Christian clientele exclusively. I do know that EHarmony does serve non-Christians.

God, if all people had the attitude of just plain "What's in it or not in it for me", we'd be in real trouble.
That's the whole purpose of serving a niche market. People join dating services that are tailored to meet their needs. Conservative Christian dating sites should not be forced to serve gay clientele as the lifestyle is not approved by conservative Christians.
You don't seem to understand, eharmony never advertised itself as a christian dating site. You yourself just said in a later post that eharmony caters to non-christians.

Eharmony chose to add a site for same-sex-singles. They could have just added two new fields to their current site.
Men seeking men
Women seeking women
My husband is a web developer, adding two new fields to a website is no great feat. It's no special treatment to include all single people. Nobody is going to ask for Eharmony to include single dogs or single teddy bears, just all single people.
