New York (CNN) -- Facebook users now have two more ways to describe their romantic arrangements.
In a gesture of inclusiveness aimed at the gay community, Facebook on Thursday added "In a civil union" and "In a domestic partnership" to its official list of relationship statuses.
Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a gay rights group, which announced the change, cheered it.

Pixx on facebook. My kids got me to join this stupidity a year ago and six months later I cancelled my ‘account.’

I can think of a few other variations, but I don't feel like getting banned and having my posts deleted.

They should have just put “other.” They already had "In a relationship", which covers a multitude of sins.
Don't know why they needed this.

You mean like "polygamy" or "cohabitates with animals"?
Personally, I live with an angel.

To be realistic, Facebook is a global enterprise.
Most facebook members are not US citizens because most people on earth are not US citizens and Facebook is sort of a global picture. The rest of the planet has largely slid further into paganism than we have, so one would expect the site to mirror that.
The main reason to stay away from Facebook is that they are marketing all your private information that they promise to keep confidential when you sign up.

Great. More liberals on FB for me to tweak, and they do hate it.

The CEO is gay and trying to push gay marriage in NY, is he not?
Of course this addition to Facebook was inevitable.
