eHarmony Reaches Potential Settlement in Discrimination Class Action Lawsuit

This is a settlement for the eHarmony lawsuit.

- by

Pasadena, CA: The online dating site eHarmony has reached a proposed settlement of a discrimination class action lawsuit over gay, lesbian and bisexual matchmaking services.

The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles in 2007, saying that eHarmony violated California law that prevents businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation.

The proposed settlement would require eHarmony to display its gay and lesbian dating services more prominently, such as creating a "gay dating" link and adding it to the bottom of the home page where there now are links for black, Hispanic, Jewish, Christian and seniors dating.

The firm also would establish a $2 million settlement fund, with about $500,000 set aside for gay, lesbian and bisexual Californians who can show they were harmed by eHarmony's policies. The company did not admit wrongdoing.
