CHRISTIANMGLE NOW ALLOWS GAY DATG, AFTER A LAWSU

Men n now check out men, and women n search for women, on the relig datg se ChristianMgle, which prevly sanctned only heterosexual se opened to gay ers after settlg a lawsu that claimed that vlated California’s non-discrimatn the new search functn likely won’t prove very eful to gay men or women — the se now lets them view profil of the same genr, but do not specifilly show them fellow gay ers. “My sense is that a fair number of gay Christians will probably not be terted simply bee they’re not terted givg money to a pany that has to be forced by the urts to serve them, ” Gay Christian Network Executive Director Jt Lee lawsu, acrdg to Christiany Today, argued that ChristianMgle vlated California’s non-discrimatn law that prohibs for-prof pani, such as Spark Networks, which owns ChristianMgle, om discrimatg agast ctomers on the basis of sexual orientatn, among other an email to The Washgton Post, Spark Networks said has no plans to advertise the se to gay Christians, or to go further to make the se work for gay or bisexual ers.

Then shows them the profil of ers of the other sex, but lets them swch to same-sex profil if they several other datg s, which specifilly show gay ers the profil of fellow gay ers, a lbian who search ChristianMgle for women now would end up mostly viewg the profil of straight women. Same for a gay ’s clearly not ial for gay or straight ers: “Nobody wants to have to search through a bunch of profil of straight folks who are not terted you, ” Lee Networks said ChristianMgle has more than 16 ln ers.

CHRISTIANMGLE DATG SE AGRE TO INCLU GAY, LBIAN USERS

”One of the pastors on the ChristianMgle advisory board parted ways wh the pany after learng would allow gay ers.

“It hurts my Lord and hurts my reputatn as a hband, father, pastor and the reputatn of my church to stay on the advisory board, ” he six remag members of the advisory board listed on ChristianMgle’s webse did not rpond to The Post’s requts for are gay Christians out there lookg to date each other who uld be a market for a datg se, said Benjam Mann, the print of Queer for Christ. The District-based group has 350 members who meet up at events, but Mann don’t anticipate those gay Christians will be on ChristianMgle any time soon. ”Right now, Mann and Lee said, most of the gay Christians they meet at their anizatns’ nferenc and events e secular s like OKCupid.

For a lot of gay Christian men pecially, there n be a kd of uneasy relatnship wh those apps, where they want to meet people, but not to be seen as lookg for a hookup, ” Lee said. Mann add that an openly Christian profile on a gay datg se — like his, which says he is semary — tends to surprise most gay men, and not a good Spark Networks or another pany created an app tailored to the Christian LGBT muny, they say, there would be a more stori about fah? Spark Networks agreed to pay the legal fe and $9, 000 to each platiff and mted to adjt their servic over the next two years to give “gays and lbian sgl a more tailored experience.

Kate Shellnut of Christiany Today wrote, “Advot for tradnal marriage nsir the ChristianMgle lawsu settlement an gement on relig liberty, groupg the cisn wh broar societal and legal prsure on those opposed to gay marriage. Two gay men cid that there simply weren’t enough gay datg webs on the ter, and sued …” The ncern that almost all nservative mentators have brought up light of this lg is that the relig liberti of nservative Christians who believe so-lled “tradnal marriage” are unr attack. The lawsu agast ChristianMgle had ltle to do wh gay men cidg that there “weren’t enough gay datg s on the web.

CHRISTIANMGLE NOW ALLOWS GAY DATG AFTER SU

If the former, then we mt be okay livg a society where discrimatn is acceptable, where shop owners place signs their wdows sayg “No Gays” or “No Mlims” allowed. Onle datg se will now allow gay and lbian ers to look for same-sex match after a settlement of discrimatn claims approved by a California judge, who has also asked the pany to pay $468, 000 to the two gay men who brought the lawsu agast platiffs alleged  2013 that Spark Networks Inc., which owns the Christian datg webse and several other s, vlated California's anti-discrimatn law by limg optns for gays. And the agreement now requir that the gateway or home pag ask the er to jt intify as a "man" or a "woman, " stead of choosg between "man seekg woman" and "woman seekg man, " acrdg to The Wall Street settlement appli also to, and, but not to the onle Jewish matchmaker, which was not part of the Networks will have to adjt searchg and profile featur the webs to clu gay and lbian sgl wh two years, as well as pay $9, 000 each to the two platiffs and reimburse them for attorney's fe wh $450, 000.
