EHarmony sued for excluding same-sex matches

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Linda Carlson was looking for a partner and decided to try eHarmony, the Pasadena-based online dating service that advertises its ability to "deliver matches that have the foundation of compatibility based on a lifetime of joy.'' When the San Mateo County woman tried to log in, she was given two options: "man seeking a woman'' or "woman seeking a man.''

Neither suited Carlson, who was seeking another woman. Her complaint to the company this February got nowhere, and on Thursday, she filed suit in Los Angeles accusing eHarmony of violating a California law that prohibits businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation.

So,you sue because a business doesn't provide a product or a service you think they should provide.What's next, Wal-Mart being sued because they don't offer high end stereo equipment?
