It was a sad day for free enterprise recently when eHarmony, the online dating Web site, settled with some homosexual plaintiffs, agreeing to offer a dating service for gays and lesbians comparable to its service for heterosexuals.  So now we have progressed way beyond ignoring what people do in their bedrooms (and public bathrooms), to insisting that private companies taylor their products and services a certain way, OR ELSE.  At which point will the homosexual lobby stop?  And what are they really after, anyway?  

Gays and lesbians seem to consider it discrimination for a company to target its products and services to a specific market.  Huh??  It's clear that eHarmony should have fought this case rather than settling, as the settlement sets a really bad precedent.  Let's see...if all dating sites must target all types of sex and marriage arrangements, or be sued, then I guess it won't be long before eHarmony offers a site especially designed for, say, Mormon and Muslim men seeking multiple wives to add to their harem.  Just think — there would be in the questionnaire such things as, How many wives, exactly, do you have?  How old are they?  When did you marry them?  How many more would you like?

And since the homosexuals like to lump their "trait" into the category of skin color and religion, when it's convenient, they may as well go after all the dating websites aimed at different ethnic groups and religious persuasions.  Nevermind if homosexuality is against the religion.  Those discriminators must change their beliefs!!  And all their ancient scriptures as well.  Can't have anything out there that does not accommodate homosexuals.  And if these Web sites refuse to offer a comparable service for gays within that skin color or religion, well SUE THEM.  Right?

It's a disgrace for homosexuals to be infringing on the rights of others to free commerce in the name of protecting their own trumped up right to have every product and service geared specifically for them.  Another right they have recently infringed on is the right to free speech.  For example, in California, during the few months of legalized homosexual marriage, the marriage licenses were changed from designating "bride" and "groom" to designating "partner" and "partner."  When a regular old-fashioned heterosexual couple crossed out the words "partner" and filled in "bride" and "groom," their license was held invalid.  What?!  Let's re-write our dictionaries to leave out bride and groom.  Marriage as we have always known it, and its accompanying vocabulary, will be a thing of the past if homosexuals have their way.  Instead of Bride magazine, we'll have "Partner" magazine, once that inevitable lawsuit and settlement go through one day.

As much as I want to embrace my gay and lesbian friends and colleagues in their pursuit of feeling equal, I cannot endorse their attempts to infringe on other people's rights in the process.  Sorry.  I think homosexuals will face in the near future a huge backlash if their attempts at so-called equality and non-discrimination continue along these lines.
