Over half of eharmony users are millennials or members of Gen Z, eharmony told Mashable. The platform saw a 31 percent increase in LGBTQ members from 2022 to 2023. That may be at least in part due to the brand's redesign in 2020 and new ad campaigns in the three years since that aiming to portray the diversity of the user base, including LGBTQ couples.

"eharmony came to us with a recognition that their product needed updating to better accommodate and serve LGBTQ+ people seeking to connect on their platform," said director of transgender representation at GLAAD, Alex Schmider, in the press release.

Mandel went on to say that eharmony remains committed to inclusion. "Love is a universal human need; so are feelings of belonging and inclusion. It's deeply important to us that all of our members — including our LGBTQ+ members — are able to authentically express themselves and find meaningful connections on our platform," he said.

eharmony recognizes that the LGBTQ community has been historically targeted for harassment, Mandel said, and any hateful or offensive acts, content, or communication may result in a permanent ban. He said, "We encourage members to report any member they may have a concern about for any reason, whether to call our attention to inappropriate behavior, or to share a potential red flag for peace of mind."
