Should a Christian led dating service be legally required to offer homosexual options?
A lawsuit is forcing eHarmony, a dating service started by an evangelical Christian, to offer services to single gays. Whether you agree with homosexuality or not, should they be forced to offer a service that was not in their original business plan. Its not the same as handicap bathrooms, as a private company they are being forced to offer a service that was not part of their original business mission. If a restaurant can deny service based on improper clothing (coat tie, shoes, shirt) etc. why are they being forced to serve a clientel they had not intended on serving. Why is it a problem to specialize for one portion of the public, it is a private service after all. In a capitalistic society wouldn’t it make more sense for someone to step up and open a homosexual based dating service rather than have government force a private institution to add new services to their business. A Christian business man should not be forced to have his business specifically do something that is against his personal beliefs and against the original intention of his business.
Ruth, I have to ask if you have a link to provide more info on that b/c my search turned up nothing. Also, the site doesn’t offer man seeking man or woman seeking woman; shouldn’t that be a bold clue? Their research used to set up their site specifically is for heterosexual couples. In order to provide the same service for homosexual seekers they will have to invest in research and invest considerably.
