One of the professional Christian set, Jan LaRue of the Culture and Media Institute has published a whiny, hand-wringing diatribe about the eHarmony settlement -- the Christian-owned matchmaking company recently agreed to provide a dating service for same-sex couples.
To LaRue, this "caving" is beyond the pale.
New Jersey resident Eric McKinley, 46, a self-described homosexual, decided to sign up for the California-based eHarmony.com online dating service in 2005. He says he couldn't get past the first screen, "because the pull-down menus had categories only for a man seeking a woman or a woman seeking a man."
So naturally the aggrieved McKinley ignored the plethora of "gay" on-line dating Web sites and filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights (NJDCR).
