Two gay men filed class-actions claims against Spark Network inc. in California courts in 2013 alleging that Christianmingle.com and several other sites in the company’s portfolio of niche dating services excluded users looking to meet singles of the same sex. ChristianMingle, billed as the largest online community for Christian singles, required new users to specify whether they’re a man seeking a woman or a woman seeking a man. The lead plaintiffs, two gay men who tried using it, claimed that the limited options violated California’s anti-discrimination law. Known as the Unruh civil rights act the state law requires “business establishments” to offer “full and equal accommodations” to people regardless of their sexual orientation. Under the agreement, the gateway homepages now ask just whether a user is a “man” or a “woman.” Spark Networks agreed that within two years, it would adjust other searching and profile features to give gay and lesbian singles a more tailored experience.

Well I am not shocked but Christians should also know these so called Christian sites have a lot of people who do not behave as Christians ought to on there. I am so glad I am not on there or any dating site any more and have not been for a long time. Im not trying to say there aren't authentic Christians on the site but there is so many that behave in the flesh so to speak that you cant tell by their actions they know Christ. It doesn't surprise me then they would accommodate and compromise for the gays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God loves everyone. Sinners are accepted by the Church but not those wilfully seeking out sin. Would you say that thieves are to be accepted by the Church even if they are wilfully using the Church as a method of stealing? Homosexuals who are using a dating site to wilfully find partners to have homosexual sex with are deliberately and intentionally using that dating site to commit a sin. This should NOT be tolerated on a Christian website. I'm really getting tired of people claiming that 'God loves everybody' in order to justify iniquity. The Bible warns us of the consequence of such behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
