A lawsuit pressured eHarmony to create a same-sex dating service. Where will this end? Do homosexuals just want equal rights, or are they demanding that everyone agree with their lifestyle? What about wedding photographers? Should they be forced by law to provide equal services for homosexual couples? Will clergyman be forced to provide marriage ceremonies for homosexuals? If you start up a restaurant, will you be forced to allow homosexual receptions if you allow heterosexual receptions? The thought police are using this “tolerance” thing very effectively. This just doesn’t seem like freedom to me.

I agree in principle, and I think what eHarmony is doing is wrong. I also think it would be wrong for a Christian pastor to perform a wedding for a homosexual couple. But at the same time, it seems to me that the line between loving sinners (no matter what their sin) and condoning/facilitating their sin is oftentimes very blurry and hard to distinguish. In terms of a business-owner, I think it would be wrong to refuse to provide service to someone just because they’re homosexual, but I also think it would be wrong to do anything that encourages or promotes the sin in their life. In my mind, when it comes to Christian business owners this is not so black and white an issue. Again, I don’t agree with eHarmony’s decision, but I also think that knowing how to love and relate to the gay community without compromising our own beliefs about right and wrong is something that we as Christians need to really think about and pray about.
Thanks for bringing out such an important and relevant issue. I think we need to have more discussions like this. But then I just like to talk anyway.
I hope I haven’t just lost my job or ticked anybody off. 
All very true, Diana, but what really concerns me is the fact that such businesses can be forced to affirm homosexual relationships by law or court order.
