An American Christian dating website, allowing only heterosexual individuals to search for potential relationships, was sued in late June after a same-sex couple claimed that they were discriminated against.
ChristianMingle.com, owned by Spark Network Inc., agreed to pay $450,000 (£340,780) and change its website to accommodate users looking for same-sex relationships, despite not accepting that the organisation had done anything wrong.
Man or woman?
The complaint arose because the website asked users to define themselves either as ‘a man seeking a woman’, or vice versa.
