Eharmony Gay Ad
Dr. Neil Clark Warren, the wise old matchmaker of eHarmony, is stepping down as CEO.
The octogenarian psychologist who dispenses advice in eHarmony commercials is no longer chief executive officer, the company said on Tuesday. But Warren, who co-founded eHarmony in Los Angeles in 2000, will continue to serve the company as chairman.
The new CEO is Grant Langston, the vice president of brand marketing who has been with eHarmony since the beginning.
EHarmony's new inclusive ads are enraging some on the right. Once viewed as unwelcoming to the LGBTQ community, popular online matchmaker eHarmony has gone through a queer-friendly rebranding of. “eharmony is proud of being an inclusive service and believes that it is important to be representative of all Australians in its ads.” Last year, Ad Standards also ruled a Bonds ad featuring a real-life gay couple didn’t breach the rules, despite numerous homophobic complaints.

I’ve received numerous complaints at “Savage Love” from various homos upset about eHarmony’s anti-gay policies. The popular dating website—founded by a Christian conservative, promoted by an extremely annoying ad campaign—doesn’t take ads from “men seeking men” or “women seeking women.” eHarmony also doesn’t acknowledge the possibility that some of members may be. By Neal Broverman. February 13 2013 2:10 PM EST. The 78-year-old conservative Christian cofounder of the dating site eHarmony says same-sex marriage damaged his company, and allowing gay customers. There is an iOS and Android eHarmony mobile app which can be downloaded for free. They have all the features available on the desktop version. The app also has fewer ads, and it is simple to use. Under the eHarmony application design, they made it consistent with the interface of the desktop version.
This isn't the first time that Warren has stepped down. He retired in 2007, but came back in 2012 to 'turn around' the company, which was sued in 2005 for discrimination of same-sex couples.
The company settled the suit in 2009 when it launched Compatible Partners, a site for gay and lesbian singles. But then 350,000 members ditched the company.
'We've suffered from the contentiousness of that topic,' the 81-year-old evangelical Christian told CNNMoney earlier this year.' We didn't want to pretend to be experts on gay and lesbian couples. We're not anti-gay at all ... it's a different match.'
In fact, he said that Compatible Partners has led to 'quite of a number of same-sex marriages.'
Warren has pitched eHarmony as a long-term relationship site that has led to 2 million marriages. The site wouldn't release its current number of users, and while it isn't believed to be the largest site in the dating landscape, it is believed to be a leading site for singles looking for long term relationships and marriage, as opposed to casual hook-ups.
Marriage has certainly been the central theme in eHarmony commercials, which play upon Warren's career as a marriage counselor. He is typically depicted as a kindly grandfather figure with words of wisdom for young ladies unlucky in love.
