Facebook has apologized to drag queens and the larger LGBT community in the wake of controversy over the site's names policy, clarifying that users don't have to use their legal name.

Facebook discriminates against heterosexuals. Get a class action lawsuit going.
I can’t say it enough. If you put your good name out there on a social network....you risk having it sullied
I use a very mangled homophone of my name.
Works great.
When will Facebook apologize to Christians for allowing a “Mary Should’ve Aborted” page to exist?
[crickets]
Homosexuals are always tolerated in the US, unlike Christians.
Is this only about drag queens or other performers who use stage names?
They allow thousands of criminals to go on existing there under fake names.
By comparison the drag queens are relatively harmless.
Ah yes, and you can go one better than homophone. For example, I give the name “Clyde” when asked, and then advise the person wrting it that it spelled with a “k”, “i” and silent “x.” That would be Klixde.
I never understood this controversy, about having to use your real name.
I have a facebook account, but it is under a fake name I made up. I do not use my actual legal name there. Are you supposed to do that? I don’t recall being asked for ID or anything to prove who I was when I signed up for facebook. Are they now requiring people verify their identity somehow???

Now that is just sad!
There is a double-standard being applied. See this thread:
