By overlaying their profile photos with a rainbow filter, Facebook users began celebrating in a way we haven't seen since March 2013, when 3 million people changed their profile images to a red equals sign—the logo of the Human Rights Campaign—as a way to support marriage equality. This time, Facebook provided a simple way to turn profile photos rainbow-colored. More than one million people changed their profile in the first few hours, according to the Facebook spokesperson William Nevius, and the number continues to grow.

Why be friends with a bunch of anus-worshipping degenerates? Anyone cheering this evil abomination can go choke to death, as far as I’d care.

Son and I saw a pickup truck flying stars and stripes and stars and bars off the back today.

We thought how confused the left would be if they saw someone flying a rainbow and confederate flag at the same time. Maybe a rainbow confederate flag overlay for FB?

I only deleted those folks who claim to be Christian and who are promoting sinful behaviors and claiming Jesus would, too. They claim God made homosexuals that way.

My favorite posts on facebook yesterday were the rainbow photos of creepy looking people with the headline - “Sex Offenders Now Required To Have Transparent Rainbows On Their Profile Image”

To be more accurate a representation of what these nimrods are cheering, they should replace their ‘rainbow’ icons with photos of prolapsed rectums.

Keep them in case your posts can help them learn. They can always delete you.

I just went to my Friends list and deleted each and every one who had that rainbow overlay. It was actually very satisfying and freeing.

YOU MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH ME BUT I HAVE UNFRIENDED ALL THE RAINBOR PEOPLE.

I'm just tired of having buggery thrust down my throat. You want to marginalize me? I marginalize you.

EVERY SINGLE ONE.

“Do what you like, but to them, denying gays the right to marry was no different than denying blacks or women the right to vote - they see it as a big civil rights victory. If you can’t be ‘friends’ with people who think that way, better start deleting, cuz they aren’t going to change their views.”

And your point is?
