The highest court in the land has spoken. Gay marriage is now legal and much of Facebook is celebrating Friday’s historic day with messages, memes and pictures.
Facebook will help you celebrate pride by letting you add a rainbow filter to your profile picture.
The steps are simple. I volunteered my profile picture above to demonstrate how easy it is to show your colors.
Click here or got to the search bar on Facebook and type, “Let’s Celebrate Pride.”
The next screen will preview your profile picture behind the rainbow. Just click on the blue bar and it will update your photo with bands of red, orange, yellow, green blue and purple.

Let’s celebrate the pride!
If you could use extra profit in the range of 50 dollars to 300 dollars daily for freelancing on your computer from home for several hours a day then try this…
There will be far fewer people holding their hand to their hearts this Fourth of July.
Background: Conservatives are far more patriotic than liberals based on their levels of military involvement, where over 80% hold social conservative views.
If you are interested in getting extra money of about $50-$300 each day for freelancing on your computer from home for 3-4 h daily then check this out…
Social conservatism and American patriotism aren’t the same thing. None of your various assertions create a logical conclusion about the inferiority of liberals. They are a specious argument.
i have no
I want equality! Where is the black, white and brown filter for black, white and brown straight pride?
Go make a black white and brown filter or flag or whatever but you’d resemble the gay bear flag. BTW were you ever fired, arrested, beaten, thrown out of your house, or killed for being straight?
If you’re not gay you’re in no position to tell me how I think. When you try to do that you prove that gays DO need equality and don’t have it yet.
But you’re not trying to make serious comments here anyway, are you?
were you ever lynched for being white?
o shut the fuck up……you had a choice and you made the wrong one….deal with it
Maybe Apple should focus on fixing their security holes and the numerous bugs in OSX and iOS. I thought Apple was a hardware/software tech company and not a lobbyist for LBGT rights.
You’re not really thinking these comments through. No company does just one little thing at a time, but you know that. You’re trying to be funny, right?
I hope the filter will be available as a stand-alone filter or app soon, I want to put it on any photo I want and on as many as I want.
Currently it’s limited to just the profile pic but it’s beautifully easy to use!
Hello me too, for a friends pic who thinks it’s cute to make fun of someone glad that others are finally getting some fairness.
I’ve said this elsewhere, but corporate advocacy is incredibly important in this sphere of human rights globally. For Facebook and Apple and countless others to hold respect for LGBTI people are a core value, it advances the cause for some of the most marginalised people on the planet. ‘Changing the world’ was Steve’s ambition, and this is completely a part of that. Just imagine if Apple contractually mandated same-sex spousal or partner benefits from their suppliers globally…
don’t worry I am countering the fag flag with the only flag that fucking matters….the American flag
