Facebook Adds Civil Unions
By Advocate.com Editors
Setting aside "it’s complicated," the choices of "married," "engaged," "
divorced," "separated," "widowed," and "single" don’t cover all the bases,
especially for LGBTs. In response to the hodgepodge of relationship legal
statuses that exists in America and around the world, Facebook has added two
options to describe users’ relationships. Now users can also choose “in a
civil union" and "in a domestic partnership” to add to their profiles in
the U.S., Canada, France, the U.K., and Australia, starting today.
Facebook made the changes with input from LGBT organizations including the
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight
Education Network, and the Human Rights Campaign.
"As LGBT people face a pathwork of relationship recognition laws, this gives
people more tools to adequately describe their relationship," said Michael
Cole, spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign. "Facebook has been a company
that has tried to be inclusive of the LGBT community, and this is just one
sign of it." | g********d
