Summarizing today's articles..."Is eHarmony Biased Against Gays?"

Today in class Team #2 presented articles based on the subject, internet dating. The first article that was presented was “Is eHarmony Biased Against Gays?” by John Cloud. This was a really interesting article to me because it is written by a gay man and he was personally looking for love but he felt he wasn’t welcomed by eHarmony. It wasn’t just because he wasn’t interested, it was because on the main page it only gives you two options; “Men seeking Woman” and “Woman seeking Man”. So obviously he didn’t even fit in this category because it was “Men seeking Man”. He believes that this is because the founder of eHarmony is a conservative Christian. But The founder, Neil Clark Warren stated that it they have founded over 5,000 married couples and since in some states gay marriage is illegal. But what Mr. Warren had said next seemed like he was just sugar coating that previous sentence, because on his next sentence stated that gays are such exotic people and that he never understood them and since their relationships are illegal its best if you ignore them completely. This article has caught my attention more then the other articles because I believe that any one, same sex or not can fall in love with someone beyond their control. So if a man seems to love men and a woman seems to love women then you should just let it be. We are no one to judge anyone else’s life or judgments. And I believe that since Mr.Warren is Christian that it still doesn’t make that right to what he said. He should understand that only God can judge anyone’s life and he should just let it be, because those decisions are those peoples decisions and their going to live with their choices not Mr.Warren.
