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.

I unfriended ever single person who did the rainblow overlay, including relatives.
I had a friend go so far as ask why I wouldn’t change my pic. I told the truth and she went ballistic.
What if we just post the following:
So good to see my Facebook friends honoring God’s Covenant to Man: “I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood. The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever.”
Until now, I’ve ignored it, but have been thinking about adding something to my own profile that will tick them off. Maybe a rainbow colored AR15, rainbow dollar sign, or Justice Kennedy in a rainbow colored robe. Any other ideas?
“ Any freepers have any suggestions?”
Secede from the union.
Raise an army.
Fire on Fort Sumter.
I posted I would unfriend anyone who had a rainbow flag.I had 14 takers and a few debaters.Good night.My husband and I were double tagging them.It was like catching fish.Most fun I had in awhile.
Fabolous! Now fire on them damn Yankees!
Good move. I just did the same.
I put the Gadsen flag up on mine. Only trouble is, only my wife and daughter are “friends” on facebook.
My daughter (17) did go through and delete everyone with a rainbow thingy.
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.
I deleted about 50 offensive flag waivers
I agree with your post although I find the ‘gay supporters’ the most intolerant and the most hateful to a different opinion.
>>Good move. I just did the same.
I had never unfriended anyone on FB before. I’ve unfollowed some people, but always kept them as friends. But, this was a fundamental difference that made me choose to just not associate with them anymore. They chose culture. I choose God.
I didn’t post a big opus or write a single word about it. I would just see the rainblow profile photo and right click and choose Unfriend and they are gone from my life.
I lost 7 and my life is better for it.
I have unfriended everyone who had that abomination. And if Facebook picks up on this trend and moves to ban the “haters” that have done likewise, I say they can go to Hell. This week I will be terminating several business relationships, all having to do with the abomination flag.
LOL. Write #blacklivesmatter on it and you’ll make Progs heads explode.
>> If you can’t be ‘friends’ with people who think that way, better start deleting, cuz they aren’t going to change their views.
That’s exactly the point. Why have people like that in your life? They only poison your mind and refuse to listen to your “religious arguments” because “the law is settled”.
