E-Harmony

E-Harmony has been ordered by a court to cater to people wishing to enter into same-sex relationships. Eric McKinley has won a suit against the matching service.
I don't know Mr. McKinley's taste in men, but this would have been a less predictable case had he attempted to acquire a Muslim boyfriend at, say, singlemuslim.com. Indeed, Mr. Warren and his colleagues at eHarmony might have been better advised to convert to Islam and claim the right to have the case settled by one of the west's fast multiplying Sharia courts, which are (to put it mildly) less antipathetic to "heterosexism".
Thus, we see more one-way tolerance, which will make it harder to win real tolerance.

There'll be more of that in the years ahead. As Michelle Malkin says, the eHarmony settlement is like a meat-eater going to a vegetarian restaurant and demanding a ribeye. The "tolerance" enforcers are jeopardizing the very possibility of any shared societal space. Good luck with that.

The audacity of the "all tolerant and equal for things we want" liberal illuminati is ridiculous. The parallels they draw there- the muslim and vegetarian restaurant are crazy. Isn't the very nature of capitalism that we can start businesses of our choosing that are in our own specialties?
