I'm Suing GayHarmony

From "I'm suing gayHarmony" by Janet Folger, posted 6/5/07 at WorldNetDaily.com


I'm suing gayHarmony for discrimination.

That's right. Because without having checked, I'm certain there isn't a single homosexual site or publication that offers what I'm looking for:

A heterosexual pro-life Christian who likes long walks on the beach and wants to help fight unequal justice mandated in the speech-restricting "hate crimes" bill.

Those bigoted heterophobes. Before you call the thought police, I don't really think the homosexual publications should be forced to cater to me. But unfortunately, that tolerance is not reciprocated. Lesbian Linda Carlson of San Francisco is suing eHarmony because she can't find a date. They don't offer a category for "lesbian bullies seeking women," so she wants to bully eHarmony until they do.

My advice to eHarmony: Stand strong for your freedom of conscience or you'll invite a whole new batch of lawsuits from:

  • The Mary Kay LeTerneau's of the world because there's no "teachers seeking students" category;
  • The Pete the Pedophiles – for age discrimination (no "men seeking children" category);
  • Chris the Cross Dresser – because there's no category for cross dressers (and whatever they seek), leading people online to believe that he's just a very ugly woman.

Our next category is attacking private business owners. That's nothing new for the homosexual activists. Scott Brockie was fined because he didn't want to print homosexual propaganda; he's $170,000 in debt for his religious beliefs.

What of the two doctors who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian woman? Her case was upheld by a California appeals court. Jennifer Pizer, the lesbian's attorney, clarified the legal position on "Hannity and Colmes": "When the doctor is in her church, she can do religion, but not in the medical office." Let me translate: As long as you stay in your religious ghetto, you can believe and say what you want, but you better not try that "freedom of religion" thing in public.

eHarmony sued in California for excluding gays

From "eHarmony sued in California for excluding gays" by Jill Sarjeant, posted 5/31/07 at reuters.com

The popular online dating service eHarmony was sued on Thursday for refusing to offer its services to gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

A lawsuit alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Linda Carlson, who was denied access to eHarmony because she is gay.

Lawyers bringing the action said they believed it was the first lawsuit of its kind against eHarmony, which has long rankled the gay community with its failure to offer a "men seeking men" or "women seeking women" option.

...According to the lawsuit, Carlson, who lives in the San Francisco Bay area, tried to use the site's dating services in February 2007. When she was denied access, she wrote to eHarmony saying that its anti-gay policy was discriminatory under California law but the company refused to change it.

"Such outright discrimination is hurtful and disappointing for a business open to the public in this day and age," she said.

Carlson's lawyer Todd Schneider said the lawsuit was "about changing the landscape and making a statement out there that gay people, just like heterosexuals, have the right and desire to meet other people with whom they can fall in love."

Of course, they do have that LEGAL right. The question is, do they have the right to force other people to help them?
