eHarmony: Homosexuality and Business

Posted by eharmonyblog on 02 October 2009 under LGBTs not accepted § Opinion · Comments (4)

(Republished in entirety with permission from The Thinking Grounds, dated 29 September 2009. Thanks, Christian!)

So the whole eHarmony-bigotry showed up a little while ago, but since I was thinking about it today, I decided to write a post about it.

If you aren’t aware of what I’m talking about, I’ll fill you in briefly: a number of people are upset that eHarmony does not match same-sex couples. There is also something out there about a misleading commercial, but I don’t know much about that.

Dear New Jersey Attorney General, Is eHarmony honoring the gay settlement?

Posted by eharmonyblog on 30 September 2009 under LGBTs not accepted § Reviews · Comments (7)

Today is exactly six months after the launch of Compatible Partners, the website opened by eHarmony because of its settlement of a discrimination complaint with the New Jersey Attorney General. To get themselves out of the lawsuit, eHarmony made several long-term promises and commitments to the state government of New Jersey,

Compatible Partners really wants you to answer a survey

Posted by eharmonyblog on 27 July 2009 under LGBTs not accepted § Seen on eH · Comments (6)

Sorry to bother you Mr. Thompson, but are you gay?

eHarmony sent a marketing research survey invitation to each of its Compatible Partners registrants on July 22, on July 24 and on July 27. Wow, they really want you to answer a survey, do they? Since it is so important, for the record and for discussion here are the survey questions, verbatim.

(What do you think of the survey? Do you think it will help them be any less clueless about gay relationships and dating as they are now? Post your feedback.)

Dear Brüno,
