What some people don't seem to understand about early, legitimate equal rights and sufferage movements is that "discrimination" was being enforced by law so that people (be they minorities or women) were being denied basic human rights by their governments at the point of coercion (laws, jail, etc). This is the only time "discrimination" should be a legal issue and one worthy of protestation.

In this case, no one is forcing this person to use this business so the issue is moot. Don't like that they don't offer same-sex matching? Don't use them. But you can't go around forcing private businesses to bend to your personal whims and needs. Hell, if this individual wants a same-sex dating website, she should start one herself, rather than bitching about someone elses.

Of course, that takes risk and effort. Coming off as some sort of human rights activist is much more en vogue (and easier to do) anyways.
