Facebook: 2.7 Million People Showed Support for Marriage Equality by Changing Their Profile Pics

"a ton of people changed their pics over to the Human Rights Campaign's equality sign (or some variation thereof) on Tuesday.

Equal rights isn't if it isn't equal. The great majority of people get it.
