New York - Internet dating site eHarmony.com said on Wednesday that it has settled a discrimination lawsuit in New Jersey, and will begin accepting personal ads from gays and lesbians for the first time. A New Jersey man sued the eight-year-old company in 2005 after it rejected his personal ad; the company did not previously accept any ads from gay people.
