Homosexual marriage was legalized in Luxembourg few month ago. Gay and lesbian marriage is now officially approved and protected by the Luxembourg constitution.
However, while the crowd begin to accept gays and lesbians, the situation gets somehow different on one heterosexual dating websites. Recently, compatiblepartners, onlylads, mygaysites well known dating sites, declared that the sites are dedicated to homosexual individuals only..
They want to provide a place where everyone has the same orientation. Same interest is very important when it comes to dating, more important for the homosexual people. It would be a very unpleasant experience when you come across someone on the website and want to say hi but he replies 'sorry, I'm not interested in dudes'."
"This isn't about discrimination at all. As part of the LGBT community, we certainly know what it's like to be prejudiced and no one wants feeling." O'Neil added, "However, we want to create a more dedicated platform for our members. I'm sure there are sites that are for bisexuals, where they will have a much bigger chance to meet that one."
Unlike any other dating sites, match.com doesn't allow its members to select their "gander". The only option is for "homosexual" to meet "homosexual", which means if you're a member, you could only be homosexual. However, O'Neil mentioned another term which sounds a little bit vague, "homo-curious". There are people who are curious about homosexuality. They might be uncertain about their sexuality thus cant identify themselves as homosexuals, but as long as theyre interested in men, I dont see why we shouldn't give them a big welcome.
According to O'Neil , any profile that claims to be heterosexual will be deleted. "We will notify the member that "Match" isn't a straight dating site when we delete their profiles. We wish them all the best on other straight dating sites." said O'Neil.
"Match" was started over 5 years ago with the goal of providing a safe, private dating platform for homosexual individuals meaning gays and lesbians. With over 13 million active members at the moment, it is the largest online dating website for homosexuals.
