Marriage Equality is Damaging E-Harmony Says Company's Founder

Good news.  Could it be that we are now seeing the visitation of divine judgement moving against mean-spirited, misguided people of religion everywhere - especially against the clerics - from Cleveland, Tennessee to Virginia Beach, VA, and from Tehran, Iran to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and from Minsk, Belarus to Moscow, Russia?

Warren is referring to an agreement the company made with the state of New Jersey in 2009 to settle an anti-discrimination lawsuit. eHarmony reluctantly agreed to put up a separate matchmaking service for gay and lesbian singles called Compatible Partners after the New Jersey Attorney General told them that refusing to serve gays and lesbians would disqualify them from being able to do business in that state.

However, eHarmony’s conservative Christian core clientele — much of the site’s early growth is attributed to promotion by anti-gay evangelical pastors — did not like that at all. In fact, they were so angry about eHarmony launching even a separate site for gays and lesbians that some made violent threats. Warren said,.....Article continues here.
