The Chick-fil-A Post

The Chick-fil-A Post

These organizations have anti-gay agendas. They lobby against our rights – they fight hate crimes bills, they fight bullying programs, they […]

Facebook Takes Another Step Toward Equality; Still Hung Up On Words

July 3, 2012 by

Facebook is evolving.   Facebook, the world’s largest online social network, has taken another step toward LGBT-inclusiveness, introducing same-sex icons for users to select from when adding marriage events to their profile’s timeline. Previously, the marriages between gay couples were marked by the default “bride and groom” icon. That’s good. Images matter. But I don’t […]
