Suit against eHarmony

A California man, John Claassen, is suing eHarmony by alleging that they violated his civil rights by discriminating against him based on his marital status. He is in the process of getting a divorce, but it is not yet final. This case is completely ridiculous and without merit. eHarmony is a private company and has the right to provide service to whomever they choose. They have chosen to deny their services to married individuals, and for sound reasons. Can I sue a retailer for refusing to sell me a shirt because I don't have enough money to pay for it? Aren't they discriminating against me based on my financial status? The answer is of course no, the retailer has the right to choose who they do business with, and if they only choose to do business with people who can pay the full price, that is within their rights. So, John Claassen, you are without merit and should be counter sued for bringing such a frivolous lawsuit to court.
