Some lesbian woman here in California is suing eHarmony because it doesn't let females search for females or males for males. So obviously that means it is discriminating against gays. And according to the twit's lawyer, "you can't have a website that says 'no gays allowed'."

Um, unless eHarmony is getting federal funding... why the hell not? It's called freedom of association, last I checked.

In any case, eHarmony doesn't disallow gays to go the site. They can go to it all they want. But it would be kind of silly for them to send them their money when this particular website is not catering to their interests.

There are plenty that do. You get about 4.5 million hits on Google for "gay online dating".

I would just about kill to find a lawyer who would take this case -- I want to sue manline.com because I went there to find a heterosexual man to date and there WEREN'T ANY.

Because it's a site for gay people.

Just like eHarmony is a site for hetero people.

Frigging idiots.

Oh, is eHarmony being mean and nasty by not tailoring its services to suit people who aren't its target audience?

I just hope she gets shut down real fast. Because the government being able to say who your business targets? Not a good idea!

I just made a comment about how dumb this nint is and LJ ate it :(

Anways, DUMB!

They keep the gay/straight/Bi sites seperate for a reason, If I was online looking for a man and some girl emailed me I'd want my money back and these are websites that want to make money!

Obviously LJ approves of the stupid. Which should shock no one.

And actually, a lot of sites, like yahoo's personals and match.com, let you search for gay or het. So it's not like there's this big old void of services.

I'd LOL so much if the judge in the case on the first day just turns to her and says

"STFU it's not the fault of the internets that you can't get laid!"

I should be a judge...
