You ask a question that has no bearing on your potential job offer.

Gay dating is not porn, whether it's speeddating or not has little bearing on that. There are plenty of hetero dating sites that hook people up for casual sex, okcupid.com is one of those.

If gay dating is porn then hetero dating is porn as well, and I think we can all agree that okcupid.com is not a porn site.

Of course, okcupid.com also allows you to search for 'mr. or mrs. right', but that's besides the point, if the principle matters to you you have to ask yourself if you would work for okcupid or not.

If they are going out of their way to plaster pictures of naked guys and/or body parts all over their site then that's different, in that case it is a porn site.

But if all you're concerned about is the length of time people spend together than you have to wonder if you'd have a similar problem if the site was hetero sexual.

If the answer is 'yes' then don't do it, otherwise don't worry. In the end your reputation is yours and you have to be careful with it, if you put 'worked for gay porn site' in it that might not help, if you put 'worked for dating site' on it then there is no harm done.
