eHarmony Owner: Gay Marriage Damaged My Company

By Michael Musto Mon., Feb. 18 2013 at 10:00 AM

eHarmony was the place where straight people could find love (or at least a blow job), until the New Jersey Attorney General ruled that they had to also service homosexuals.

But owner Neil Clark Warren isn't happy about that development at all.

Whiny Neil has gotten protests about having to provide equal services to all, and it's allegedly damaged his goods.

His quotes:

"I have said that eHarmony really ought to put up $10 million and ask other companies to put up money and do a really first class job of figuring out homosexuality.

"At the very best, it's been a painful way for a lot of people to have to live."

A painful way to live? Yeah, thanks to Christians like him!

Wait, there's more:

"I think this issue of same-sex marriage within the next five to 15 years will be no issue anymore," Warren told Yahoo! Finance. "We've made too much of it. I'm tired of it. It has really damaged our company."

Oh, so equal rights is annoying because it supposedly gets in the way of a crappy dating service and forces them to have to be human by law?

Awww.

I see. So an issue which is headed for the US Supreme Court in March, and which has been decided in favor of gay couples in nine states and the District of Columbia, has made this man "tired" (despite his admission that this issue will no longer be an issue within the next 15 years). What has he been smoking? Since when did civil rights become an issue about which a person of influence in this country could ever become "tired?" The bottom line here is that this man is complaining about the fact that he had to modify his dating service to accommodate the laws of the state of New Jersey (whcih has a very strict anti-discrimination law, named (appropriately) the "Law Against Discrimination" (LAD)).

Exactly how has his company been damaged by the existence of this law? Granted, he had to spend money researching the dating behavior of gay men and lesbians, but since when did this ever become a concern to a service which, like any other service of pulic accommodation, is state law?

Neil Warren admists that this issue will become a non-issue within the foreseeable future. So what, exactly, is he railing against?

I sure as hell don't know....

There should be an attack on the site, of people creating the most egregious profiles, spiced up with bad vintage porn photos of tacky straight actors, male and female. Totally destroy the site. Then he will have something to complain about.
