eHarmony Swings the Other Way
Choosing to settle a lawsuit over homosexual matchmaking, eHarmony has caved in to the gay “rights” movement. Some details of the settlement can be found in the article, but what bothers me most is the precedent. eHarmony has been one of the biggest success stories in online matchmaking, largely due to its foundation on Christian principles (note that doesn’t mean it caters only to Christians or somehow excludes other religions or atheists). It would have been better to follow the lead of the Catholic Church, which stopped providing adoption services in Massachusetts when that state required that the Church allow gays to use its services. eHarmony should have simply ceased accepting applicants from the state of New Jersey and closed its business there, taking the financial loss rather than compromising principle.
