The Christian dating website – ChristianMingle.com – must now
provide dating options for gay people, according to a settlement in a
California case.
The Wall Street
Journal (WSJ) reported that two gay men sued the website after they found
no options for meeting gay men who profess to be Christian. The men said the site “arbitrarily and
intentionally” excluded gay and lesbian people, which was a violation of
California’s civil rights acts that requires businesses to provide equal
services regardless of sexual orientation.
On all the Spark
Network sites, the first selection when a person sets up a dating profile
is “I’m a man seeking a woman” or “I’m a woman seeking a man.”
Under the settlement, the profile selection now reads, “I am
a man” and “I am a woman.” The sites
must maintain the change for the next 2-years, according to the WSJ.
ChristianMingle, as well as other sites owned by Spark
including: CatholicMingle.com, AdventistSingles.com, and BlackSingles.com, have
changed their dating profile messaging.
Question: Why doesn’t an enterprising gay person open a
uniquely gay dating site? Wouldn’t that
be of greater assistance to those of that sexual preference seeking a
relationship? … just as those sites of Christians, Catholics and Blacks?
