    Yes, most of my friends "Liked" it. Keeping it up because I like it, it's beautiful :grin:

    I didn't, though I thought it looked amazing.

    I'm still in the closet to most of my family, and I don't want to give them or the surrounding religious community any more hints than they already have.

    I didn't, mainly because I'm not out yet, though most of my straight friends were doing it.

    I live in Australia though, and while I realize this is a huge step, it's still not legal down here yet and our idiot leader still doesn't want to change that.

    Yep. I'm not out to most of my family but they know I'm a big "ally" so I completely rainbowed it up! :slight_smile: In Canada we're celebrating 10 years of equal marriage, so it's nice to see our southern neighbour finally jumping on the bandwagon!

    It's very likely I would have, except I am no longer really using Facebook.

    Back when I was still posting, I changed to that red backgrond equals sign at least once that I can recall when some marriage equality issue was big.

    No. I'm on the job market and if people search for me on Facebook I don't want anything like that to show up. My settings are pretty tight so only friends can see my posts, so I've been posting lots of stuff.

    My bf did set his pic to one of the two of us with the rainbow so that counts for something.

    Yep, even though we have already had marriage equality in Aotearoa / New Zealand for nearly two years this was too good to miss. My feed is saturated with rainbows profile photos, many of them from straight ally friends and family as well as from GLBTTQI friends.

    Not doing so people wouldn't find out that I'm straight. Kidding but it's nice to see few (two) straight allies change their profile in support.

    Yes. I did it right after I saw one of my friends do one. Our profiles were the only profiles I noticed with the rainbow edit, and I had no idea it would get popular. About two hours later, half of the people on Facebook have it, including lots of my straight friends and family.

    I guess you could say I rainbow'd my face before rainbowing faces was cool. *puts on hipster glasses*

    No I haven't even though I'm out I just don't use too much actual Facebook as I never post a status or like something I just message my friends on messenger and don't do anything else on Facebook.

    No... I thought it looked really bad over my picture.
    That's my only excuse. ^^

    I went the rainbow edit. There are a good number of people on there I'm not officially out to (even though my profile & many posts make it semi-obvious I'm gay) so I figure it's as good a way as any to drop another hint.
