So what is the deal with eHarmony? I have been seeing a lot of commercials lately for eHarmony and their competitors. Chemistry.com has been posting many commercials about types of people who have been rejected by the former. At first I didn’t care much, and then one day, while I was flipping through the TV, One caught my eye. It was a man who was looking at some kind of magazine like Playboy, and then at then end states, “Nope, still gay,” and a big rejecting stamp comes across him. To me, I thought this was really unfair. What does eHarmony have against gay people anyway? It is hard enough as it is to find nice compatible people being straight, but I can assume it might be harder for someone who is attracted to the same sex. A lot of research I have done talks states that many gay men meet people through the internet, so an online dating service would be perfect. I think eHarmony is discriminating against these individuals and should allow people who are gay to meet others through their site, but this is just my opinion.

To visit the eharmony site, go to http://www.eharmony.com/servlet/home?cid=50601&aid=1001&GCID=S14727x010&WT.mc_id=50601-1001&WT.srch=1&kid=GOG0032619141
