Harmonizing the Gay

Heh heh alert: eHarmony must now provide dating services for same-sex couplings according to a settlement arrived at by the New Jersey State Attorney General's office.
"Until (Wednesday’s) settlement, eHarmony was more like eNeanderthal for its refusal to include the gay community," said Steven Goldstein, director of Garden State Equality, the civil-rights group active on gender issues. "It’s nice to see eHarmony finally go from the Stone Age to the 21st century."

The Boston Herald has the story.
I encourage any Gay or Lesbian folks to get in on the "free to the first 10,000" offer at Compatible Partners, which eHarmony says will be launched by March 31. The tide will turn people. The religious wrong has pissed off the wrong group for the last time.

Each of the last few generations has been more tolerant than the previous one on this issue, so I think you're right. As with other forms of equal rights, I'm just sorry that it's taking so long.

No kidding...But it really does seem like this might be the time.

Somehow I think signing up for eHarmony is kinda like going to religious services at a Fundamentalist church. Why would I really want to go where I wasn't wanted when there are so many BETTER options available now. Besides...doesn't networking work for making matches now??? HEH.

Remember Wyrd, FREE to you means COST to them. Plus you never know...

I think the eHarm concept of matching people on many different personality traits could be useful.

Seems worth it just to make that prick Neil Warren pay through his homophobic nose.

Hope...I use the FREE site www.plentyoffish.com which provides a similar personality driven service. It's okay. Biggest issue for them is not enough people know about it because they don't do heavy advertising... Plus ya gotta love the name...lol

We like to think we are so advanced, but how incredibly primitive to deny full rights of citizenship to a portion of the population based on sexual orientation. "Transcending racism" didn't seem to touch this abiding "-ism".

Based on the proscriptions of a religious myth? An all-loving God who ostracizes some of his flock on the basis of whom they love? We have a ways to go. . .

If this causes a few ulcers in Jesusistan, it was well worth it.

I am so sick of religion screwing up the lives of decent, honorable people.
