Somedude, I agree almost entirely with what you say, here’s my sticking point, its one thing to tolerate something and another thing entirely to celebrate it and yet another to be forced to celebrate something against your will. I am willing to tolerate homosexuality but I’m not willing to celebrate it. Yet I feel like we are starting to be forced not merely to tolerate something we may not agree with, but to approve of it and celebrate it.

That isn’t what “tolerance” means. Actual tolerance means tolerating things we may not agree with like, oh I don’t know, homosexuality?

I probably differ with most of you on this subject… I agree that businesses should not be compelled to change their business model to accommodate segments of the population that they have no will to support. However, I also don’t think it’s the government’s place to deny civil rights to some just because they live their lives differently. Nor is it my place to judge. I voted against Prop 8, not because I’m enamored by the gay lifestyle, but because I can’t see that it’s especially productive to disallow them equal rights under the law. It’s just simply not my place to stand in the way of peoples’ happiness. If the sticking point is with the word “marriage” and the religious connotation it holds, then everyone needs to just have a civil union as a catchall for legal purposes, and marriage should just be the province of religion.

You guys are spot on - and it’s an outrage to have this noisy and ignorant group dictating to any business that they should conduct their business in a certain way to please THEM. eHarmony has a right to cater to the market they see fit and that market was NOT homosexuals. It is their right to do this. Any judge considering this case and allowing it to go forward should be seriously questioned as to their common sense. As one of the commenters said, this jerk in New Jersey should HAVE TO SHOW HOW HE WAS HARMED BY EHARMONY NOT CATERING TO HIS DEVIANT DESIRES. This is what citizens are told in a recent case questioning Obama’s citizenship - Philip Berg in particular - a judge threw out his claim because he could not show how he was harmed. Why is this eHarmony case treated differently? I’ll tell you why - because the gay rights retards are a bunch of disrespecting BULLIES and I say it’s time we FIGHT BACK and beat the crap out of them. I’m sick and tired of having different laws for illegals, gay rights idiots and then law-abiding, decent living, citizens who get the SHAFT every time.

This kind of treatment and abuse of our courts is leading STRAIGHT to American Revolution II and if you are a gay activist you will NOT be on our side.

As an evangelical Christian, I can’t help but feel more “hemmed in” everyday. I have homosexuality shoved in my face nowadays, on TV, in the movies, at my workplace, everywhere I turn. I am tired of being told I have to be “politically correct” (this IS still America, right?? what happened to MY right to say that I think the homosexual lifestyle is a deviant one, and one that I find personally repugnant?)…now, apparently, not only am I supposed to act like I think it’s OK, I am supposed to put up with gays pushing their “rights” in, in order to push my rights out. Isn’t it bad enough that gays are trying to infiltrate the church, our schools, the media, and even MARRIAGE, God help us; now they want Christian-based websites to be forced to facilitate and assist them in their deviant behavior. Where did OUR rights go?

This might sustain them for awhile until the state of California decides that everyone in the state who voted for Prop 8 should be beaten with a wet noodle repeatedly.

I couldn’t agree with you more if I tried. A friend of mine is not gay, but he has HIV and thankfully has lived with it for 24 years - truly a blessing. But the point is that because of his illness, it spurred him on to create a special dating site for other people in his unique situation…both gay and straight. There are tons and tons of different dating sites out there that cater to every kind of fetish and situation imaginable. I’m certain that the predominant clientele for his site is homosexual males, but there are a lot of heterosexuals as well.

In eHarmony’s case, they are catering to Christian heterosexuals, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. This man in Jersey’s lawsuit wasn’t about his not being able to use eHarmony, it was about tearing down eHarmony and getting back at Christians through the court system. If he absolutely could not find a gay dating service online and could not meet anyone outside the comfort of his home because he is just too hideous for words (which is entirely possible), then he might have a case. But as far as I’m concerned, they gave up far too soon and too much in order to make this matter go away.

Some things are just too important to not fight for, because like it or not we are in a cultural war like we’ve never seen before in our lifetimes.
