From Garden State Equality:
Today, the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights reached a settlement with the dating website eHarmony, which until now had not allowed matches between potential same-sex couples – only between men and women – in violation of New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination. Under today’s settlement, eHarmony will now have to match couples of the same sex and of the opposite sex.

Congratulations to all for this milestone in the fight for equality for all!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks, Renee our eH Advice Host, and sorry, NearDC, I wasn't sure where the best place was to share this development.

It shouldn't have any impact at all on the experience of those using the eH service; the two services will be separate.

What a country...heh? Oh, yay for New Jersey, the most litigous state in the country. We finally beat out California on something for the homosexuals. Wow ! Anyway, what's next?....a lawsuit by the bisexuals who want a dating site for multiple partner relationships? Nothing like having the law stretched in your favor. eHarmony is a private entity and they should be able to admit whoever they want. Why can't the g a ys just start their own dating site? They can call it homoharmony. Eh....so what, there's money to be made I guess. If you're going to make money off the sinners, you may as well include them.

And in "Politics." I suspect the mods may wind up moving the one in "Dating" to "Politics" anyway.
