eHarmony, the website that “matches” couples up for possible relationships, has been forced by the state of New Jersey to launch a new website after the state ruled eHarmony had been “incompatible” to gays.

EHarmony was founded in 2000 by clinical psychologist, Dr. Neil Clark Warren, and Dr. Galen Buckwalter, a research professor at the University of California. The two worked together to devise eHarmony’s patented Compatibility Matching System. According to the eHarmony website, 236 eHarmony members marry each day.

New Jersey resident Eric McKinley filed suit against eHarmony in 2005 when he realized the site was for “straight” people and not gays. New Jersey’s Civil Rights Division found eHarmony had discriminated against McKinley then fined the internet hook-up site $50,000 to cover “administrative costs” with $5,000 going to McKinley. The new site is called Compatible Partners and is set to launch March 31.

Match.com, which claims it’s the world’s largest internet “meet” your mate site, caters to both “homo” and “hetero” sexuals but not transgender or transexuals so we suppose it’s just a matter of time before more discrimination suits are filed.

The “world’s biggest lesbian meeting place”, the Pink Sofa, is for lesbians only.

The site, Adam4Adam, is a “dating” site strictly for gay men. We were unable to find where a heterosexual’s feelings were “hurt”, as was Mr. McKinley’s, when they were unable to find members of the opposite sex to date when perusing Adam4Adam or the Pink Sofa.
