Rejecting eHarmony

11.24.2008

I don't know if you've ever seen the commercials for Chemistry.com, but some of them feature gays who have been denied by eHarmony. The founder of eHarmony is a bigot Christian who doesn't think gays deserve to find love can be measured by their super-secret compatibility guide. (He's right - we aren't generally compatible with heterosexuals.) Anyway, in 2005 a gay man decided to call eHarmony out on it and filed suit.

And he won.

But if you ask me, it's a shallow victory. First, it took 3 years to reach a decision. Second, after all that time, he'll only receive $5,000. Third, gays still won't be able to use eHarmony. Instead, they are making a separate site for queers.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: SEPARATE IS NEVER EQUAL. It's just Jim Crow for gays and love.

Sigh.

eHarmony is a big swindle anyway. They aren't any more or less successful at matching people up than any other dating web site, they're just more fascist about the process. I wish everyone who's ever shelled out the $60/month or whatever it is to them would get together and file a class-action suit.
 

But you see, if we queers had access to eHarmony proper, we could totally push our gay agenda on all the innocent straight folks using their services. It would be so chaotic and dangerous. We'd have all these well-dressed, pedicured straight men running around...it would be downright scary. WE CANNOT LET GAY ANARCHY RUN RAMPANT!! :)

Steal anything from this site and you'll be sent to your room without dinner.

Curious?

If you picture everything the Catholics say you should be, and then reverse damn near all of it, you'll have a good idea what I'm all about.

I can be loving and a pain in the ass, all in the same breath (it's my special talent). I have strong opinions, but am willing to listen to others. If you want to discuss politics or religion, finance or pop culture, .
