eHomony

eHarmony is a wildly successful people matching site for heterosexuals in search of their life's mate. However, gays felt left out and instead of starting their own site, they went to court to force eHarmony to cater to them. Of course, some judge agreed:
The Internet dating service eHarmony, which has been distancing itself from its reported Christian foundations for years, now has launched a matching service for homosexuals.

Compatible Partners has been put online by eHarmony, the result of a lawsuit settlement between eHarmony and the attorney general in New Jersey.

The state official pursued a complaint against the company over a 2005 statement from Eric McKinley, a homosexual, who alleged eHarmony's heterosexual-only matching service violated the state's anti-discrimination law.

According to the Boston Globe, "it might be the first dating site whose owners didn't really want to create it."

If a gay site had been created I'll bet you couldn't find a judge that would have ordered it to cater to straight people.
