Argh. That makes about as much sense as requiring that Starbucks sell Pepsi.

You’d have to wonder about standing - or wait, not standing, but that other legal concept that there has to be a bona fide dispute. Did gays really want to sign up for a Christian dating site? How Christian was it (if you know what I mean by the question)?

The left is trying ashard as possile to kill freedom in this country. This is just another example

Maybe they should PAY eHarmony for that service? After all, its a company and companies like to make money.

I have to play devil’s advocate here. eHarmony settled the lawsuit. They didn’t lose, nor did they admit guilt to anything. The government did not force them to match homosexual partners.

Apparently, their want of money trumped their “Christian” conscience. They felt it was in their best monetary interest to settle.

So…..if you want to use christian values to lay judgment on this case, lay the blame squarely on eHarmony’s lack of a “Christian” conscience and its consummate greed and the Federal government for allowing such lawsuits in the first place. After all, you can no more blame someone for hunting game that’s readily available than you can for someone using the law to their advantage.

@TLM — not very Christian. But certainly billed as hospitable to fairly socially conservative types, as opposed to pretty much everything else in the niche.

@Frank — I agree. Appalling as it is that the government has stepped into this role, it’s really hard to argue that the commercial and actuarial interests served by many “principles” out in the *marketplace* of ideas are really the same thing as truth, or right, or (to get all Greek) The Good.

Ewwwww, abstract nouns!
