Facebook Recognizes Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships

Facebook Recognizes Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships

Yesterday, Facebook added more options to their relationship status updates. Namely, the ability to add either "in a domestic partnership" or the more separate-but-equal "in a civil union" to your personal profile.

"This has been a highly requested feature from users," Facebook's Andrew Noyes, manager of public policy communications."We want to provide options for people to genuinely and authentically reflect their relationships on Facebook."

GLAAD and Facebook's Network of Support, an LGBT anti-cyberbullying group, helped spark the change.
