STFU E-Harmony

I've never tried online dating, as I have certain fears I was never able to overcome. However, many of my friends and The Wifey's friends have indeed successfully found love, or at least some like with a bit of sex mixed in by fishing for honeys online. That sounds absurb, ignore it. Moving on.

E-Harmony was the only site that didn't allow queers to join its Christian, overly occupied with saving sex until marriage, heterosexual boringness. And Eric McKinley filed a complaint against the online matchmaker ("Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match" ... sorry, fell into "Fiddler oon the Roof. Many apologies.) in 2005. From NBC:

"Online dating service eHarmony is adding another personality trait to its 29 dimensions of computability. The California-based company will begin providing same-sex matches under as part of a settlement with New Jersey's Civil Rights Division.

Under terms of the settlement, the company can create a new or differently named Web site for same-sex singles. The company can also post a disclaimer saying its compatibility-based matching system was developed from research of married heterosexual couples."

But here's where I lose interest. E-Harmony has, um, standards that I would probably never agree to in the first place. And, there are a TON of queer online dating sites. Why would you want to join E-Harmony? I suppose that from what someone said in the comments that because they never really said they were only marketing to straighties, they were being discrimatory. In any event, McKinley won $5,000 and got a one-year membership. Methinks he won't find Mr. Right.
