EDGE BOSTON -- June 21 -- It all started with a lesbian in San Francisco, Linda Carlson, who tried to post a personal ad on eHarmony, which was rejected. Her recent lawsuit has gotten bloggers, pundits and gay rights groups weighing in. eHarmony, a straight dating site, has long rattled the LGBT community by refusing to match gays. Dale Carpenter, Julius E. Davis professor of law at the University of Minnesota Law School, believes that the lawsuit has a chance of success based on the California anti-discrimination law. eHarmony claims its tests don't accomodate gay psychology and the site caters to straight Christians.

So, as soon as this is successful, I will file one against gay.com.
GeezusHKeericed. If these folks don't wanna take yer money, go somewhere else.
Besides, why would you want to give your money to this bible-thumper?
Oh, yeah, I will wait until you tell us the suit is "not about the money". I am sure that statement is right around the corner.
yeah, right.

It is not only gays they target it is also how many times a person has been married. I answered their questions truthfully regarding how many times I had been married. I was denied stating that they could not find a suitable match for me. And this happened in about 20% of the population. I then went back to their site with a different email address and filled out the same form. Except I entered one for the times I had been married and they welcomed me to the site!!
