i didn't quite follow your response 
I was asking why can't gays simply start their own dating site, instead of attacking those that have a different value?

The owner of eHarmony is a Christian though, so it is a Christian 'owned' business even if it's not a Christian only dating site. This is why he allowed it to go to court, to fight it, rather than just giving in, and why he did not have a section for gays to begin with. As a loophole, he formed a second dating site for gays only, but doesn't advertise it. That way he 'technically' complied with the court ruling, but with giving no real victory to them.
True, but addicts. Adulters. Divorced couples. All are at each and every church. So, I ask again, how do we draw a line for the gay community if even one comes in? Ministering is not kicking the person out. And no, having a gay person sit in church is not condoning the lifestyle because I refer you back to the addict that sits behind, in front, or next to you in your church.

Well, addicts are not likely to sit in church and publicize and engage in their addiction. Same with most any other sins. Homosexuality on the other hand is out there for everyone to see and often not so easy to disguise.
And much of this has to do with homosexual agenda. There's a distinction between letting a seeking homosexual in your church vs allowing homosexuals with an agenda to force their acceptance in all facets of life. Just the same as if a drug dealer were trying to push drugs on people in the church he would be removed.
But as i continue to say, too much has been put on going to church as the place to bring in unsaved. Instead the church should be training Christians to go out into the world and win people over. If the church were operating in the right manner such issues wouldn't be so large of a problem.

If one is sitting in church, I'm not sure how one is engaging to begin with... The person is sitting in service. Now sure, a person could be having lustful thoughts (happens in every single service at every single church). Not sure if you're referring to that. But yes, it would be hard for an addict to drink a bottle of whiskey during the sermon. That same sermon, though, has people with sinful thoughts. So if a homosexual was sitting in a service, I'm not sure how he or she would be engaging unless he or she was having sinful thoughts. But that goes back again to the addict sitting right next to, behind, or in front of you.
I do agree with your last sentence, though. You can say that about all struggles in life (mental health, in particular, as there's still a stigma associated with it). I think the church has lost its purpose as whole, in my opinion.

I havent met one person on this site who has made the claim that a repented sinner cant be saved due to homosexuality.
I agree with 49, though. I would just shut down the site, too. Or keep fighting, if I felt I had enough supporters.
There are gay dating sites out there, why cant there be Christian dating sites? And if these people here had a problem, they are free to have a gay Christian dating site, where they can make the rules and all that.
If this has been done, we may end up seeing a law passed on churches that refuse to marry gay couples. Would be a very sad day.

Can you not see the difference in telling this Christian group they must approve gay relationships ? We don't as Christians promote any form of ungodliness, even if some may be involved. You are not tryin to be honest about this..you are doing that same ole thing you and other always do ..trying to approve or excuse sinful and deviant behavior by pointing to some possible sin in others. I'm sure that dating site does not allow or promote adultery either if it comes to their knowledge.
