I wonder if this will be another case of simple bone throwing to the gay community, like what Sandals Resorts did. Time will tell.

TRENTON, N.J. -- Online dating service eHarmony is adding
another personality trait to its 29 dimensions of
computability.

The California-based company will begin providing same-sex
matches under 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 same-sex singles. The company
can also post a disclaimer saying its compatibility-based
matching system was developed from research of married
heterosexual couples.

Neither the company nor its founder, Neil Clark Warren, admit
any liability.

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.

I am so glad to hear that

I thought that I was going a little crazy when I could not find the Gay part of it. I finally decided that I did not want their services any longer, and that took an act of congress to get it canceled. They were very polite about it, although dancing around the request that I had made.
