Somewhat unrelated, but nonetheless, I feel it should be said. When all of us smokers were telling you nonsmokers that creating laws banning smoking from restaurants/bars would erode a company's rights to run their business they way they wanted, you were opening doors for all sorts of legal controls put on how businesses should be run.

I don't think that is really unrelated at all. I think you make an excellent point.

I'm honestly kind of repulsed by this.

I absolutely LOVE my gay friends, I also won't take this as an excuse to hate on all gays. Because not all of them were a part of this lawsuit.

That being said....I'm just speechless.... this is about as ridiculous as that boy getting arrested for "gas attacks".

It's been said before but I'll say it again, there are HUNDREDS of gay dating websites, just like there are dating websites specifically for people who want to date millionaires, just like there are dating websites for nerds and geeks (true story) there are dating websites for latinos, asians. Most have the option to choose whether you seek a male or female counterpart, allowing you to choose.

Now whether or not eHarmony chooses to do that themselves it's up to them they are a privately owned business.

I think a few gays got a little butt hurt (no pun intended) over all the happy couples being shown on the eHarmony commercials and decided to do something about it.

edit: remember Andy Rooney's little tidbit on 60 Minutes about race and discrimination? I see history does repeat itself

I'm wondering if the lawsuit was staged:

1. Helps distance eHarmony from its Christian roots; an image that has been used by other websites in their marketing ( "nope. Still gay: Chemistry.com)

2. Generates free publicity in the gay community, who may go there now out of loyalty or curioiusity.

3. Gives eHarmony camoflage with its christian supporters, mgt was "forced to open up." They can still claim verbally that they didn't want to.
