'One Million Moms' Outraged Over Sweet eHarmony Ad Featuring Lesbian Couple Doing Laundry

A new ad for the dating app eHarmony has been condemned by the conservative Christian group for attempting to 'normalize and glamorize the LGBTQ lifestyle.'

Dating site eHarmony was slammed by anti-LGBTQ+ group One Million Moms for "normalizing" a gay lifestyle by featuring a lesbian couple in one of their latest advertisements.

The Los Angeles-based online dating service's ad showed a bi-racial couple holding each other while sitting on a loveseat.


One of them gets up when they hear a buzzer going off, indicating their clean clothes are dry and ready for unloading.

The woman who got up to retrieve the clothes returns with a basket of fresh, clean clothes and playfully empties the laundry basket on top of her lover who is lying in bed.

The adorable couple laughs and then lovingly embraces among the pile of warm clothes as the words, “Get who gets you. eHarmony," appear on the screen.

While the pro-LGBTQ+ commercial generally elicited praise for representation, it failed to make a love connection with One Million Moms, which is hardly surprising.

The bigoted conservative group is famous for boycotting LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the media for fear of LGBTQ+ characters or personalities indoctrinating children with the so-called "gay agenda."

Past mobilization efforts include OMM calling for a ban on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for including two Broadway musical performances featuring trans and non-binary characters; boycotting Marvel and DC Comics for featuring gay characters; and objecting to the hiring of out talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to be a spokesperson for J.C. Penney.

Despite the suggested number of angry moms advocating for outdated family values, OMM has only about 105,000 social media followers.

On their website, OMM slammed eHarmony for its attempt to "glorify sin" and "normalize and glamorize the LGBTQ lifestyle."

OMM griped:

“This eHarmony ad is an attempt to brainwash children and adults by desensitizing them and convincing them that homosexuality is natural."
"In reality, it is an unnatural love that is warned about in Scripture."

Despite their claim, homosexuality has long been recognized as one of many normal and natural forms of human sexuality and is not a mental disorder as falsely suggested by the group.

The group continued:

"This commercial targets families with the liberal LGBTQ agenda, airing during prime viewing hours on various channels that families often watch."
“One Million Moms will continue to stand up for biblical truth. Homosexuality is unnatural and immoral; Romans 1:26-27 makes this very clear."

They attached a petition for fellow haters to sign and strongly encouraged eHarmony to:

"Please stick to promoting your service without making political and social statements."

The internet rolled their eyes over OMM's pearl-clutching complaint.




Meanwhile, praise for the commercial continued.



As of this writing, One Million Moms' petition to boycott eHarmony has 12,564 signatures.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was roasted online after Meta announced they'll be shutting down Horizon Worlds, part of their virtual reality "Metaverse," this summer after spending close to $80 billion on the project.
