Compatible Partners? Thanks, eHarmony.
Recently, eHarmony agreed (after some minor legal rumblings) to add a matching service for homos and lezbos; they're calling the site Compatible Partners. Sounds like Domestic Partners, no? Separate but equal, I see how it is. And no, I am not providing a link to eHarmony's website... Sheesh. Took 'em long enough.
It should be noted, however, that non-discrimination policies (at least in California, where the suit was filed against eHarmony) apply to governmental agencies and not to private enterprises. This was a case of a private business bowing to legal pressure before an official court decision had been made. It is unlikely that eHarmony would have been indicted on discrimination charges, but they reached a settlement out of court with the DA and The Man bringing suit against them.
Enterprising Chemistry.com took the opportunity to snatch those adorable queer singles.
Awwwwwwww.
