Is this truly discrimination?

I am sorry.

While I feel that Proposition 8 was wrong and that everybody deserves equal rights, this is just ludicrous.

Yesterday, eHarmony settled a discrimination lawsuit in New Jersey. The suit had been brought against them because they didn’t offer services for those looking for same-sex matches. As part of the settlement, eHarmony now has to post photos of same-sex couple matches on the company's website and in promotional material. The company also has to revise statements on its websites, handbooks and other publications to indicate that it does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.

Plus, they will launch a new service by March 31st, 2009 that will be called “Compatible Partners”.

How ridiculous is that?

eHarmony is a private business and should be able to conduct its business the way they wish. To basically force them to offer same-sex services in my opinion is absolutely wrong.

Couldn’t the same person who filed this lawsuit just create a new site and/or service himself?

And while I’m not sure, I like to believe there are already gay dating sites available.

While I disagree with many of the viewpoints shared by those supported Proposition 8, things like this only gives them more ammunition.

So, if this can happen, what’s next?
