Gays or lesbians can use their site, then just won't be receiving useful matches, seeing as how they're the wrong gender. They're simply limiting the scope of what their company does. I don't sue Victoria's Secret for not offering men's briefs, because that's not their business, they make womens undergarments. e-Harmony isn’t discriminating here.

My gawd, my day is taken up by work during the week and sometimes on the sknd as well, then yardwork, honey-dos, paying bills, etc, on the wknd. It would be sheer luxury to have the TIME that these folks do. They must be awfully bored to feel such the need to sue someone, especially when they have not been adversely affected by said company or individual. AND these ARE TRULY FRIVILOUS lawsuits; remember, a lawsuit is NOT frivilous if you are suing because your rights were infringed upon or you were robbed, libeled, slandered, assaulted, or injured mentally and or physically. If a lawsuit fullfills any of the above conditions, as rediculous as it might seem, it is therefore NOT frivilous. In the case of E-Harmony, for a lesbian to be suing them (to me at least) is as frivilous as a man suing Daughters of the American Revolution for admittance, for example.

If they were truly a private organization, I'd have no problem with them excluding whomever they wish. As it is, they shouldn't receive support for the government if they want to pick and choose who can and cannot be a member.

First, has anyone else seen the ads for another dating site appealing specifically to gays? Once again, before this case even makes it to court, the marketplace has solved the problem. Second, exactly how does the California law work? Does that mean that doctors are required to check women for prostate cancer or men for ovarian? In truth, this is still a frivilous lawsuit. eHarmony didn't discriminate against gays. Any gay man can log onto their site and find a woman just as any straight man can. It isn't like they ask "are you gay" and then reject a man's account from even finding a woman. The plaintiffs just don't like the choices offered. Too bad eating habits probably isn't on the list. I could go out to California and sue vegatarian places for not serving meat as discriminating against carnivores. Alas, my frivilous lawsuit isn't accepted even if this one is. Darn. Two comments.
