—Andrew Noyes, Facebook’s manager of public policy communications on the recent update to include options of Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships for Relationship Status!!!!
More info: Facebook has added two options to its list of relationship statuses for users: “In a civil union” and “In a domestic partnership.” The options were introduced last week in the United States, as well as Canada, France, the U.K. and Australia. Facebook reports that this has been a highly requested feature from users, and the network wants to “provide options for people to genuinely and authentically reflect their relationships on Facebook.” Before the addition, options included single, in a relationship, married, engaged, it’s complicated, in an open relationship, widowed, separated and divorced. The new changes were made in consultation with Facebook’s Network of Support, a group that includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organizations.
WAY COOL!!! :)
