NEW YORK (AP) - Jay Lassiter is no longer "in a relationship."

Let's clarify that: Lassiter, a media adviser for political campaigns who lives in Cherry Hill, N.J., is still with his partner of nearly eight years, Greg Lehmkuho. But since Thursday, when Facebook expanded its romantic-status options, Lassiter's profile there echoes his relationship's legal status: "Domestic partnership."

It may not be a life-altering change. After all, you can call yourself anything you want on a social network. And Facebook is merely that.

And so, he says: "It's high time. It's an affirming gesture. It's sort of one tiny step for gays, but a giant leap for gay rights."

And therein lies the problem....special rights based on deviant sexual practices.

But no entry for “Pervert”?

It's just another way for homosexuals to cruise. Kind of like writing their names and numbers on restroom walls.

BTW, as soon as the social network sites let them do that, that's what the place becomes ~ a toilet wall.

They used to use AOL profile pages to “hook up”.

That’s not a romantic status, that’s a label just inches away from saying “I live with my mom”.

[DJ MacWoW]

Living with Mom would be safer as she wouldn’t give him all kinds of diseases.

.. there, I fixed it

[reagan_fanatic]

Puke.

If anyone I know tries to shove that in my face they’ll be defriended in a microsecond.

This must be very exciting for the gays. What a real victory. I'm sure the Appletinis will be flowing in Chelsea NYC tonight. They really know how to effect real change. An extra option to click on their Facebook page. WOW!

[DJ MacWoW]

It’s called “incrementalism” and it works.

[reg45]

Butt no entry for “Pervert”?

Or perhaps, "No butt entry for pervert".

[Moose Burger]

Agreed. But the point is exactly the same: not romantic. At all. The opposite, even.

his relationship's legal status: "Domestic partnership."

Wait till his Yorki-Poo finds out.

[DJ MacWoW]

the article says that most homosexuals think it’s great and will lead to more “social” changes. I think it’s disgusting.

Lassiter's profile there echoes his relationship's legal status: "Domestic partnership."

Facebook ought to have "Poop-sex Partnership" as a status.

[Lazlo in PA]

It shouldn’t be a suprise, Facebook is run by a genuine Commie Pinko POS.

[DJ MacWoW]

The article says at the end And so, maybe a social network can be something of an agent of social change.

The more people are exposed to it without the negatives being pointed out, the more accepted it will become.

But no entry for “Pervert”?

That's effectively what this is. As another poster said, any of my FB friends who put this as their status will be defriended. Period.
