What's the story with eHarmony.com? They don't do gay matches. Are they some Christian cult, hoping to get breeders together to overpopulate the earth? |

Thank you for accepting my findings as your answer. Although eHarmony does not seem to be officially linked to any Christian group, the site's founder, Neil Clark Warren, has appeared on several evangelical Christian television programs, and Warren has had books published by Focus on the Family's publishing house. While I don't consider Focus on the Family to be a cult, the group is certainly a prominent proponent of "Christian values," mainly as interpreted by media minister James Dobson. I've reposted the link from my comment, plus some extra material. AlterNet Love Machines http://www.alternet.org/story/21291/ Daily Kos: eHarmony and Focus on the Family http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/5/145919/2183 Regarding the relationship between eHarmony and Focus on the Family, I found this on eHarmony's own website: "Warren said eHarmony struggled in the beginning until the evangelical Christian leader James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, gave the company its big boost by hosting Warren on his national radio broadcast. Warren describes Dobson as eHarmony's biggest supporter, and the appearance on the show reaped 100,000 subscribers, he said. Warren, who is open about his Christian faith, said the support of Focus on the Family the organization also published his best-selling book, 'Finding the Love of Your Life' has led some critics to think eHarmony only matches Christians." eHarmony: Searching for a love connection http://www.eharmony.com/core/eharmony?cmd=community-searching-love-connection Google search strategy: Google Web Search: eharmony gay OR homosexual christian ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eharmony+gay+OR+homosexual+christian Best, Pink |

I have found a couple of good reviews of eharmony: http://www.datingsitenetwork.com/eharmony/ http://www.onlinedatingsource.com/eharmony/ Neither one of them mention the heterosexual exclusivity. Also worth noting is that eHarmony is going to be offering marriage counseling soon. Too funny. |
