Hundreds of thousands take to social media to support equal marriage

Thousands of social media users have taken to Facebook and Twitter, to change their profile pictures to an altered version of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) logo, in support of equal marriage.

The logo, released by the HRC to coincide with the US Supreme Court taking on two cases around equal marriage is normally blue and yellow, but was altered for the occasion.

The original image, shared by the HRC was shared over 100,000 times, creating over 10 million impressions across the US. User-customised version were shared countless times more.

High profile posters of the altered logo included Beyoncé and Madonna, as well as Star Trek’s George Takei, and the satirical Facebook page for God, which posted an image of Ladies Liberty and Justice kissing.
