I wonder how many atheists will fight with me when Christians are on the suffering end of that injustice.
Only the comments below will tell.
According to the Wall Street Journal, in a court settlement with a judge’s ruling, ChristianMingle.com must now include same sex relationships on their dating site.
The claim filed by two California men, alleges that since Christian Mingle only offers straight dating options, they are in violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, which the Wall Street Journal quotes as requiring “business establishments” to offer “full and equal accommodations” to people regardless of their sexual orientation.
For those of us who stand with the LGBT community as proud allies, that sounds wonderful at first.
It smells like equality, but something’s not quite right. There’s more to it, and here’s why you should stand with Christian Mingle.

... this dating site thing is a different situation entirely in my opinion.

Bunch of nonsense.
You acknowledge you are LGBT (no matter when that happens) - - - then you're supposed to give up everything you've been raised to believe? As in God?
Ridiculous.
LGBT Christian's are Christians. They should have the same rights as any other Christian.
I don't agree with Smalley at all.

Here is where my problem lies, my wife and I were very active in the "Life Style" for a few years, and a lot of those folks bragged about teaching Sunday school, but I know what they were doing Saturday night.

The Unruh Civil Rights Act 1959, is one of the oldest (if not oldest) anti-discrimination acts in America.
CA takes LGBT equality very seriously.
We should punish LGBT individuals because they choose to keep their faith in spite of the adversity?
Not in my world.
Christian singles should mean Christian singles. PERIOD!
Good call judge.

Ah, yes. Harper Valley PTA for sure.
I'm atheist now, but I did grow up in a Christian church.
LGBT Christians probably take it more seriously then the anti-LGBT Christians.

Christian singles should meet Christian singles. Period. But if someone chooses not to allow it through their channels, that is their right.
You're not giving liberty in this case, you destroying it.
