Wash. commentary: Gay movement shakes down eHarmony

Your shakedown of a Christian-targeted dating Web site worked. Homosexuals

will no longer be denied the inalienable "right" to hook up with same-sex

partners on eHarmony. What a landmark triumph

for social progress, eh?

New Jersey plaintiff Eric McKinley can now crown himself the

new Rosa Parks — heroically breaking down inhumane barriers to Internet

matchmaking by forcing a law-abiding private company to provide services it was

never created to provide. "Men seeking men" has now been enshrined with "I have

a dream" as a civil-rights rallying cry of the 21st century. Bully for you, Mr.

McKinley. You bully.

Neil Warren, eHarmony's founder, is a gentle, grandfatherly businessman who

launched his popular dating site to support heterosexual marriage. A "Focus on

the Family" author with a divinity degree, Warren encourages healthy,

lasting unions between men and women of all faiths, mixed faiths or no faith at

all.

Don't like what eHarmony sells? Go somewhere else. There are thousands upon

thousands of dating sites on the Internet that cater to gays, lesbians, Jews,

Muslims, Trekkies, runners, you name it.
