eHarmony Forced to Provide Same-Sex Matches

My friend Robert Knight over at the Culture and Media Institute just alerted me to this AP story:

The California-based company will begin providing same-sex matches as part of a settlement with New Jersey's Civil Rights Division. Garden State resident Eric McKinley filed a complaint against the online matchmaker in 2005.

Under terms of the settlement, the company can create a new or differently named Web site for homosexual singles. The company can also post a disclaimer saying its compatibility-based matching system was developed from research of married heterosexual couples. ...

In addition, eHarmony will pay the division $50,000 to cover administrative costs. It will pay McKinley $5,000 and give him a free one-year membership to its new service.

Knight said via e-mail: "Read: Christian-owned businesses must promote sin or else. Caesar is demanding it. Anyone out there who still does not see the limitless tyranny metastasizing under the rubric of 'sexual orientation' laws? Next, Catholic hospitals will be forced to do abortions."
