eHomony To Launch

Somebody needs to invent a condom to protect business models from these types of suits. eHarmony agreed to open a gay dating site to settle a suit. What, doesn't Second Life have steam baths, or public restrooms?

Will they call it eHomony? Just a suggestion!

So, this is “progress?” eHarmony, a Christian-targeted dating website, gets sued by a gay man demanding that the business match him up with a same-sex partner. The New Jersey Attorney General intervenes on behalf of the gay plaintiff and forces eHarmony to change its entire business model. To be clear: The company never refused to do business with anyone. Their great “sin” was not providing a specialized service that litigious gay people demanded they provide.

What an annoying, whiney bunch of losers. And some idiots here don't realize that I don't mean all gay people - just the crybaby activist fringe.

"I want my Gaypo!!"

Fun with posthumous baptism.

"-- Dear God of the Homos,

With your great and everlasting love that blessed the covenants of Achilles and Petroclus, Gilgamesh and Enkidu, and of Jonathon and David, bless then the soul of Joseph Smith of Sharon, Vermont with your divine penis. Let it pierce the anus of his soul, and let you be forever joined to him, since on this oppressive earth, he was denied the pleasure of the male sex.

Forever and ever, our brother Joseph Smith has now joined our family (We Sing the Hymn to Praise God of the Homos! http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thefullmonty/wearefamily.htm).

Blessed be God of the Homos,

Amen --"

If you feel a little tingling in you wee-wee next time you find yourself watching football, TK, know that I've been praying for you.

Hey, Fred, more news to report. The Goracle's global warming boy, James Hansen, who works for NASA and runs the Goddard Institute for Space Studies(GISS) got caught using falsified data to prove October was the warmest in history, when in fact it was pretty damn cold. He used data from August to prove October was so warm.

Now what would you call a low-down, lying bastard who would use false information for political purposes? I know the answer. A LIBERAL!

[Fred Beloit]

Anon, what's the idea of introducing logic and common sense into this issue? That will simply further inflame the already raging opposition, like progressive rage boy Harpo.

[Caramba]

" Even more so to come in to the comments section, point out the obvious (for instance, a dating website called eHomony probably wouldn't be about gays so much as about people who enjoy eating grits - http://dictionary.die.net/homony) then read the ensuing frothy raging backlash about how only a stupid liberal would resort to dictionary definitions in the face of rapier wit."

Dude you're awesome. Nothing I could have said about you would demonstrate left wingers penchant for combining arrogance, condescension and dishonesty like your rooting out a lone web dictionary which mentions an alternative spelling of "hominy."

[Fred Beloit]

Temp, I forgot to add, "and like progressive rage gal Llamette".

[templar knight]

Caramba, ROTFLMAO! How true!

"..and like progressive rage gal Llamette."

You guys are killing me. Now I gotta go get a towel and wipe all that coffee off my computer screen.

Government dictating products and services a company must offer is scary. It gives the government the power to drive you out of business.

Florida real estate developer Al Czervik was right about tigers eating their young (Caddyshack).

From Pajamas Media:
"One blogger, again at DailyKos, writing under the pseudonym “fatcatnichols,” was enraged by at the prospect of Hillary Clinton joining Obama’s administration.
'It’s very painful for me to watch Obama, the person I was so inspired by, transform himself from a “clean break from the 1990’s” to the Bill Clinton freak show. This is not what I voted for.
Barack Obama has been completely overshadowed by the Clintons over the last few days. I hardly remember Obama’s landslide victory, subsequent mandate for Change, and his potential to give us a fresh start. I’m still hoping Obama doesn’t choose Hillary, but all indications are that he will … and I am just about to throw up.'"

I hope Obama hires Jocelyn Elders. She was so much fun!

Lame-O's turn at getting a little bitch slapping around here,

"If you feel a little tingling in you wee-wee next time you find yourself watching football, TK, know that I've been praying for you."

The only tingling I'm aware of is the one that climbs up Chris Matthews leg for the god king.

"in you wee wee" WTF! This is like talking with a 2 year old, come to think of it whenever you moonbats open your mouth for anything other than a little "man love" it is like talking to a two year old!

Sorry but Satan worship doesn't count as "prayer"

Thanks for the Daily Koz link, the day isn't complete without one of you "queer grit" eating asshats dropping a little moonbat load in our laps.

You are a sad little troll aren't you!

"-- Then we moved on to private organizations and private clubs. Here the fabric of the original intent really began to fray. Private groups were forced to admit women, blacks, whomever under the same idea of non discrimination while at the same time a host of other public and private groups that were comprised of selective ethnicities and genders were allowed to flourish. This was the crazy crossroads, where we fell all the way down the slipperly slope.

Now, we're down at the bottom of the first mountain to a point where a business that was created to serve X need [dating of straight couples], has been forced to make a business move to service the needs of Y group [gay couples] even though there are any number of dating sites that already service this particular market, as well as servce many other niche dating markets like Jews, blacks, Christians, etc. --"

The basic premise of the moral and legal stance is that if you provide a service - renting cars, selling food, arranging one-night stands - you can't simply refuse service to a select group of people based on race, gender, ethnicity, and so on.

Take your "gentleman's club" scenario. There was a time when women were simply barred from entry. Why? Was a Gentleman's Club physically incapable of seating and serving a female client? Was seating and serving a female client an undue burden on the wait staff or the management? Absolutely not. It was a purely psychological game. The boys wanted their tree house and they weren't going to let girls in. Legally, that's not allowed.

Likewise, in eHarmony, you've got profiles for men and profiles for women. If a man says "I like puppies, strawberries, and long walks on the beach" and he's straight, eHarmony finds a woman who also likes puppies, strawberries, and long walks on the beach. And it introduces these two people to each other. But if the man says he's gay, eHarmony refuses to introduce him to another man who likes puppies, strawberries, and long walks on the beach.

This is not because adding a "men seeking men" or "women seeking women" feature is some sort of massive undue burden. We see dozens of dating sites that have implemented said feature without trouble. The feature doesn't exist because eHarmony deliberately chooses to exclude gays from using their system.

That's classic discrimination, no different than if eIceCream were to refuse to sell a gay man a Coke Float or eCarWash refused to clean a San Fransisco Prius. The capability exists, but the service is denied simply due to an individual manager's bias.

"-- The only tingling I'm aware of is the one that climbs up Chris Matthews leg for the god king. --"

Which one? Broad shoulders Mitt Romney? Aqua Velva Fred Thompson? Flight Suit Action Vest Collectible Super Hero President George Dubya Bush?

There are so many god kings in the wingnut punditocracy, I can hardly keep them all straight.

/queue wingnut screed about how "Chris Matthews is not a conservative! He's a liberal! Because I hate him!"

[templar knight]

Thanks, STM, but the Llamette has been "gutted" this morning. And not, "sad little troll", but "useless little troll" is a better description. What a little creep he/she/it is. Lol.

[mark l.]

"Likewise, in eHarmony, you've got profiles for men and profiles for women."

I was unaware that eharmony had any questions about sex...

questions thye will have to ask:
do you like pitching or catching? butch or femme? penetration good or bad? watersports, anyone?
eharmony's question are probably not related to sex, and yet homosexual compatability is almost exculsively centered around sex.

testing for homosexual compatability is not even close to heterosexual compatability.

[scarshapedstar]

"The New Jersey Attorney General intervenes on behalf of the gay plaintiff and forces eHarmony to change its entire business model."

Really. The impression I got was that eHarmony chose to settle out of court. The attorney general is neither judge nor jury and they could have fought the case.

And now, horror of horrors, they'll have to let users click "I'm a [man] seeking a [man]." Don't they know that in every civilization in history, online dating has been between a man and a woman?!

[IslamoLlama]

"-- And now, horror of horrors, they'll have to let users click "I'm a [man] seeking a [man]." Don't they know that in every civilization in history, online dating has been between a man and a woman?! --"

Except for Rome, and it fell in 1000 short years.

[scarshapedstar]

"homosexual compatability is almost exculsively centered around sex."

Mark, are you typing this one-handed? You realize that homosexual couples spend most of their time together with their clothes on, just like every other non-imaginary human being, right? Yes, I know what you've seen on LesbianDorm.com; however, as you may have guessed from the credit card charges, those are paid performers.

"testing for homosexual compatability is not even close to heterosexual compatability."

Dude. If you don't ever stop to wonder whether a girl you're pursuing is a good lay, there's something not quite straight about you. Seriously. If you think all women are the same in bed (which is the only conclusion I can draw here; in your mind, it seems, only gay people prefer to f*ck in certain ways) then you're either a virgin, or spectacularly bad, or so creepy that nobody trusts you with any kinky sh*t.

Call me a degenerate, but I can't have boring sex for the rest of my life. And sometimes it is just underwhelming. I don't think anyone's to blame in that situation, it's just a lack of chemistry, same deal with a crappy date.

[SacTownMan]

"Call me a degenerate, but I can't have boring sex for the rest of my life."

Okay, Scabby you're a degenerate!

And stay away from my dogs you freak!

[templar knight]

"And stay away from my dogs you freak!"

Damn, I can't stop laughing. And I've never had sex with a woman that I thought to be underwhelming. It was all good and better. And I'll let Llamette and Scabby speak on the subject of man love, as they are the experts at this blog.

[IslamoLlama]

"-- And stay away from my dogs you freak! --"

Lols! Gay sex and dog sex are the same thing! Hahaha! Hurray for stupid!

Face it, Scar, these "conservatives" are nothing more than a bunch of 50-something cloistered old farts on third or fourth marriages. They don't hate gays. They just hate anyone who gets more action than they do.

This explains their violent hatred towards college students, minorities, Hollywood actors, hippies, Al Gore, east coast liberals, west coast liberals, young unmarried couples, anyone under 30, and gay folks trying to use dating sites on the internet.

[SpaceCat]

Man, you wingnuts have really crawled out of the woodwork this election season to show us just how bigoted, homophobic and racist you are. Not that it's a surprise to those of us who have been following your politics, I'm just surprised that you've given up any pretense of being anything but a group of raving, angry bigots. The mask has been pulled from your visage and you've been exposed for what you are. I hope you like the great outdoors, because you're going to be stuck in the political wildnerness for a long time to come.

[templar knight]

Llamette, Caramba and Fred skewered you earlier, you skewered yourself on your last two posts, and yet you still come back for more. Amazing. And who hates you, I feel sorry for someone as truly pathetic as you. You really need to get out more.

SpaceCat, we've been at this blog for years. We don't need any troll droppings from you, as we've heard the same shit from our resident trolls for quite some time now. If you have anything of substance to add, by all means, post it. If not, TAFFAARD.

[scarshapedstar]

How you go from "I find some women to be much more fun in bed" to "I want to f*ck a dog - and it has to be a male dog!" is beyond me, but it reveals enough hangups to wallpaper a gymnasium.

[IslamoLlama]

I'm still a little surprised he didn't go the extra mile and try to marry you to a box turtle.

[IslamoLlama]

I mean, ultimately you're just dealing with some really sick deranged people on this site. It's a sad reality of life that mental sanity in the Republican Party ain't what it used to be.

Funny, because I was always a big fan of a multi-party system. Back in 2000, I was cheering for the Greens and the Libertarians to really break out. Now I get to watch the slow self-inflicted death of the party of Abe Lincoln. It's a sad and messy way to die. Really unfortunate.

[JustOneMan]

NEW FLASH --- CNN Reports that due to the recent victory of the "gay lobby" against eHarmony..other groups are filing similar suits to force the company to start other site. Here are just a few....

ePedephilia
eBeastiality
eNambla
eNecrophilia

Kinda late to the party JOM.

[SacTownMan]

"And stay away from my dogs you freak!"

Damn, I can't stop laughing."

Brother Knight gets it! Thank god there is someone else out there that realizes that the post was intended to be funny.

Is there a gene missing from the trolls that doesn't let them laugh a little every now and then?

Lame-O and Scabby are prime examples of haters that just don't get it! You two need to cut back on the Daily Koz Kool-Aid and have some fun!

Okay, so I was making a Haha on the bestiality link, you see it tied into the whole "call me a dengenerate" thing!

You two are really sad!

[WBestPresidentEver]

Dan, Where is Open Thread FRIDAY ?

[templar knight]

STM, Scabby and Llamette have spoken. What a pair of....sad sacks! They truly need to get out more. STM, I'm putting up Christmas decorations between posts, so it's back outside for me. And have you heard the one about Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama?

[Anon]

You have used an overbroad definition of descrimination, that is the problem. eHarmony doesn't descriminate AGAINST gays, it simply does not provide the service that gays want. The same way that Neiman Marcus does not provide $5 shirts, the League of Women Voters is oriented toward women and the vegetarian restaurant is oriented toward vegetarians. The meat eater can go to the restaurant but he cant' order meat. The gay person can to go eharmony, but he can't get a gay match. There is really only a slight difference of degree.

As far as a gentlemen's club, what is the problem with a male only club? Women have women only clubs, don't they? Indeed, blacks have black only clubs and organizations and women have the same as do Asians and gays.

The ONLY group that CANNOT LEGALLY have its own 'group' is white people and now apparently straight people.

THe melting pot was not envisioned to grind up everything in the pot until it was nothing more than a bland grey porridge...which is exactly what PC has done and is doing to this country.

There are all kinds if niche businesses that don't market to EVERYONE. What's next? Does Target need to start carrying gay oriented sex toys because its discriminatory that they've got to go down to the village to buy them or get them online?

[IslamoLlama]

Except this isn't the same thing as a vegetarian restaurant not serving steak. There are men on eHarmony. There is no reason why the service can't introduce them to each other. On the contrary, it's like going to a vegetarian restaurant and being told "Only men can order the pasta. Only women can order the salad." Or going to a car rental store and not being given the keys to a Toyota because you aren't asian enough to drive one, in the manager's opinion.

The menu is right there. You can see everything on it. You just aren't allowed to order what you want because the guy running the business doesn't want to give it to you.

"-- What's next? Does Target need to start carrying gay oriented sex toys because its discriminatory that they've got to go down to the village to buy them or get them online? --"

Ok, if you wanted to go that route, let's assume Target carried dildos. Do you think it would be discriminatory if only women were allowed to buy them?

"Will they now have to create alternative sites for hetero's?"

Of course.

[scarshapedstar]

"Lame-O and Scabby are prime examples of haters that just don't get it! You two need to cut back on the Daily Koz Kool-Aid and have some fun!

Christ. I mean, after the first few hundred rejoinders to the effect of "Oh yeah? Well, you're GAY!" it got pretty hard to avoid concluding that people on this site have serious issues. Like TK's twelth thousandth "ur fag":

"And I'll let Llamette and Scabby speak on the subject of man love, as they are the experts at this blog. Posted by: templar knight | Friday, November 21, 2008 at 02:09 PM"

I'm not going to be a complete sissy liberal and claim that I don't ever make gay jokes. That's not the point. But when it's the insult of first and last resort, even when the issue at hand is, I don't know, emissions regulations... it gives the impression that some people here spend way, way too much time thinking about gay people and gay sex.

It's kinda like when some Baptist preacher rails about how all gay people are going to the very worst circle of hell; goes into excruciating detail about the abominable acts that gays engage in and how they will be one-upped in fiery fashion by demons in hell; makes kids take anti-gay pledges; hangs up "DON'T BE GAY" posters; stones a gay person; et cetera, is found to have three little boys chained up in his basement. We leftards roll our eyes and say, "No sh*t." Whereas the geniuses on the Right wonder how such a pious, moral man could ever give in to temptation. Why, he was once the straightest man on the planet, if you took everything he said at face value... only Nancy Pelosi and the ACLU could have warped such a fine lifelong heterosexual.

[Fred Beloit]

Llamette sadly announces: " Now I get to watch the slow self-inflicted death of the party of Abe Lincoln."
Cheer up, Llamette, you'll also get to watch the return of the Clinton Casa Blanca to the national stage. You will see Hillary solve the international money crisis as she speculates on cattle futures on a massive scale. You will see Bill working to undermine Barry and show him who's boss. It will be very entertaining for those who can observe with detachment. Like Harpo the Greater I can't wait for 1/20/09.

[anon]

The menu is right there. You can see everything on it. You just aren't allowed to order what you want because the guy running the business doesn't want to give it to you.

____

eHarmony already made its "meu" available to anyone who was interested and its menu offered heterosexual matches, if you wanted something else, like a gay match or an adult child match then you would have to go to a different "restaurant" where they offered another menu.

you just killed your own argument.

[scarshapedstar]

Yes, because gays and pedophiles are exactly the same under the law.

Wait, sorry, I'm being told that actually gay sex is perfectly legal whereas CHILD F*CKING IS NOT.

Jesus, anon, are you really that dense?

[Anon]

it has nothing whatsoever to do with what is legal and what isn't, it has to do with the idea that the "restaurant" has its own "menu" and if you want something that any particular "restaurant" doesn't offer you are free to find another "restaurant" with a different "menu"...which means that eHarmony being forced to change its business to serve an entirely new demographic and client base is not only anti-Democratic and unAmerican but completely stupid and pointless. Nobody's "rights" are at stake unless you make "right" mean that everyone can get whatever they want wherever they want whenever they want and any organization that doens't provide whatever they want is "discriminating" against them.
