Were All Those Rainbow Profile Photos Another Facebook Experiment?

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.

I watched the sudden death playoff between Bubba Watson and Paul Casey (UK) today. Did anyone see it and notice Casey’s wife’s hair colored with rainbow streaks? Fortunately, Bubba won.

First time I realized SSADs were claiming G-d made them that way. Sometimes I’m real slow on the uptake.

Blue Turtle I do wish to apologise for the manic episode at post #65.
I was popping off, and I don’t even do facebook. :+)

I do fear how symbols or lack of could be used as an identifying mark to justify persecution in the near future.

Anyway, for facebookers, I feel for you because like everything else going on there are these groups of people that are destroying American cultural icons. (Like my church)

Good for you. I’m glad to see some pain going their way.

Young kids are being educated by this mess. We have adults teaching little boys that they can have sex with eachother. This is insanity.

After Obama was elected I did some ‘ethnic cleansing’ on FB. Anyone who said yay, or gloated one single bit over his reelection I just deleted. I didn’t say a word. I just deleted them. Funny thing is since I did that not one single friend or relative that was left posted a rainbow overlay. Guess I did good. Lol

My husband and I downloaded a man/woman symbol (pink Venus/blue Mars intertwined) and made that our profile pic. Several people have copied it too.
