Private Discrimination

eHarmony is being sued because it does not allow gay match making on its service. A user is suing, claming that this is against a California anti-discrimination law. These kinds of suits are not constitutionally valid and that's the way it should be. eHarmony and other dating services do not have to offer their services to anyone. The website was founded by an Evangelical Christian, and any users should be willing to play by his rules.

Nobody is forcing people to use eHarmony, it is a matter of choice. Anti-discrimination laws were made so people couldn't be denied basic services due to their race, creed, etc.

Nobody is being denied a dating service, this service just happens to appeal to certain users. There are plenty of gay matchmaking websites out there that don't do much to serve straight people.

Also, eHarmony seeks to differentiate itself by using a kind of dating algorithm developed by the founder (a doctor of some sort) that he says only applies to straight people. He says he simply does not understand the dynamics of same sex relationships.

The private sector should be free to discriminate, especially in areas like this where there is clear choice, such as personals in a newspaper, a gay website, or a gay bar.
