Is eharmony wrong for excluding gays and lesbians?
I have recently, though an article on Stumble, discovered that eharmony went through a lawsuit having to do with the fact that homosexuals are completely excluded by the service.
I don’t care what you have to say about religion here. What I’m asking is if it is ethically right to exclude 10% or more of the population from such a service as eharmony. Thoughts?
Of course it’s wrong, but I still don’t think they should have gotten sued for it. They are a private organization.
I have no idea what eharmony is, but it sounds like a creepy outfit . . .
Screw eharmony.. its probably a rip off anyway

Lol to the Josh above me
shouldn’t matter, it is full of 600 pound heteros.
who wants that?
I think the real reason is that the gays and lesbians don’t need an online service to help them find love. See, e-harmony knows this – and they are disallowing the few who do want to join up because they know it will destroy the straight folks – seeing how it’s REALLY supposed to be done.
Who says that it is more than 10% of the population?
That number is a lie, that is causing gay people to be discredited.
I believe that the Constitution has a clause about “Freedom of Association.”
Or does the Constitution only apply when we want it to?
I don’t think it’s necessarily unethical, but it’s certainly a bad business move. They’re would attract more customers if they allowed LGB people to use the service too.
yes they r wrong.
I think it is wrong, but if they are a private company they can do whatever they want. If it were a government company then they’d get a lawsuit.
There are other sites that do the same thing . even if i was single and they did start allowing gays i wouldn’t join it because it would probably give bigoted questions for gays
It’s a private company with religious backing. Sort of like a private club. It’s their rules. men looking for females and vs. There are many men only or women only groups out there and no one seems to mind except someone with a personal ‘agenda’ Why hassel to go there? There are plenty of gay friendly dating sites. It would be odd for a straight guy to join one looking for a female, too.
It isn’t right. Legal, but not all things legal are right. All I have to say.
thats such bad human rights!
Of coarse its WRONG
Hell yes! If they do that, that is terrible! Love is love and you can’t help who you want to be with. I am bi and I like both. I can lean either way. I think that is very rude towards LGBTs looking for a match. Uuugh.
I think its right that they exclude gays and other wayward sexualities. In my opinion we don’t need to make gay a normal thing for our society so children can grow up to experiment and get messed up. But about e harmony im kind of interested about reading their mission statement and seeing in print that their goal is to bring together a man and woman.
I mean people can argue that love is love and you should be with whoever you want to be with. Next you know people want to have 3-people getting married. Animal and people marriage.
