Facebook Debuts Same-Sex Wedding Icons for Gay Users

At Facebook, change is all in the details.

Social networking giant Facebook has added two new icons to denote same-sex married couples for LGBT users. Previously, being married on the Facebook Timeline was symbolized by a bride and groom icon. Now same-sex couples can choose either two brides or two grooms, according to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

This follows a few other inclusive changes for users, including the ability to choose civil unions or domestic partnerships as a relationship status. GLAAD honored Facebook for its efforts to decrease bullying on the website, and miscellaneous inclusive moves.
