Facebook Introduces Marriage Status Icons Depicting Same-Sex Couples

Following in Apple's iconic footsteps, Facebook over the weekend unveiled two new "cake topper" figures for same-sex couples declaring their marriage status on the social network.

Previously, changing one's partnership status to "married" would produce an timeline icon depicting a heterosexual couple.

One of the first to use the new icon was Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, who married his partner Sean Eldridge on Saturday.

GLAAD notes that this is not Facebook's first gesture of LGBT inclusion: In February of last year, the company made it possible for users to select "In a Civil Union" and "In a Domestic Partnership" from a list of possible relationships.

It remains to be seen how One Million Moms — an anti-gay offshoot of the American Family Association which relies on Facebook to propagate its message — will respond to this progressive feature.

vehiclesshockme 3rd-Jul-2012 12:40 am (UTC)

Ass biting is unchristian.

numbedtoe 3rd-Jul-2012 12:41 am (UTC)

Still keeping those gender stereotypes though. You tried at least.

starzangelus 3rd-Jul-2012 12:51 am (UTC)

The poster means how the women are wearing dresses and the men tuxes. Gender stereotypes.

I was filling out some consumer survey to earn free points (aka money) for this MMO I play, and the gender section had more options than every other question on the 20 minute survey. I was impressed.

No offense but how else would they illustrate two women or two men getting married without relying on them with pictures such as these?

sapphybelle 3rd-Jul-2012 03:38 am (UTC)

Um... they're simplistic little "toilet door"-esque people. If they drew a woman wearing pants it would just look like a heterosexual couple as they're a bit too small/simplistic to add boobs to and keep the simplicity... I really don't think they thought about it as hard as you have when they made that design choice.

expromqueen 3rd-Jul-2012 05:18 am (UTC)

they don't even have hair or human features lol

Still ignoring the asexual/demisexual/pansexual/specialsnowflakesexual relationships, I see. Not here for this oppression tbqh.

asexual and pansexual shouldn't be on that list tbqh. asexuality is valid, even though it's not about which genders you're attracted to but sexual drive. pansexual seems similar to bisexual, but there are people who don't identify with the gender binary and pansexuality is an attempt to include them.

That makes it sound as if the American Family Association itself was not anti-gay.
