This sign has been popular recently because of the Supreme Court meeting this past week regarding the future of gay marriage, specifically Proposition 8. People on both sides of the issue have taken to social media in order to express their thoughts and beliefs on what they believe should happen in regards to these widely disputed issues.
Facebook users have changed their profile pictures to the popular symbol in order to draw attention to the issue, while Instagram users have been posting the picture to their feeds. Despite criticism from others many who say the symbol will have little to no effect on the overall outcome of the issue, there is no doubt that the symbol has caused social media users everywhere to question what the sign is and the meaning behind it. People are talking about the issues more openly, which was obviously the goal and intention behind the symbol all along.
Marygrace, I was going to write a post about this this week. I think what you have to say is so true. Recently on Facebook this picture has taken over, and people are voicing their opinion. At first I didn't know what it meant, which led me to look into what was going on. I think it says a lot about our generation and our daily use of technology. Our generation speaks our mind through our social profiles, which causes it to spread like wild fire.
