EHarmony settled a discrimination lawsuit today by agreeing to offer a new website which caters to gay and lesbian individuals. It will also offer the service for free to the first 10,000 users who register within a year of its launch.
The suit was filed in 2005 by New Jersey resident Eric McKinley.
As part of a settlement of McKinley’s claim, EHarmony has also agreed to pay the New Jersey state division $50,000 to cover administrative costs. It will also pay McKinley $5,000.
The new website will be called Compatible Partners and will launch on March 31, 2009.
