Conservatives Urge Facebook Users To Use American Flag Filter To Fight Against Rainbow Pics

Millions of people rainbow-ified their Facebook profile pictures in celebration of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage last week, but some weren't feeling the pride.

After SCOTUS ruled 5-4 in favor of nationwide same-sex marriage Friday, Facebook released a free tool that let users change their profiles to feature a rainbow overlay that resembles the pride flag. The feature garnered more than half a billion likes over three days and 26 million people changed their main photos, according to CNN.

Right Wing News was not happy about the display of LGBT solidarity, however, and created a tool that let people change their profile pictures to feature an American flag overlay instead.

Over in Russia, graphic designer Oleg Chulakov made a tool to create a Russian flag overlay in response to all the people who used the pride flag filter, according to BuzzFeed (although he said his intentions were not homophobic).

St. Petersburg lawmaker Vitaly Milonov -- notorious for backing Russia's "homosexual propaganda" legislation -- asked Russia's media watchdog, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, to block Facebook in the nation for violating the law with its pride filter.

"It is a crude violation of Russian legislation. Facebook has no age limits, it is impossible to control how many minors are there,” he said on Russian radio Saturday evening, per the Express Tribune. “That is why it would be completely normal to pull the plug on Facebook in Russia.”
