26 June, 2015 was a memorable day for homosexual rights.
The Supreme Court of the United States declared samesex marriages legal.
Soon after the news spread around the world, Facebook created a Temporary Profile Feature consisting in applying an overlay of the rainbow flag on top of profile pictures, by using a special facebook.com/celebratepride page.
The expedient found immediate and enormous response in Facebook users: those days witnessed an overflow of rainbow flags in everyone’s news feed page.
I was impressed by the phenomenon, and I soon designed “Facebook LGBT Flags”, a series of flags depicting Mark Zuckerberg’s profile picture filtered by some of the LGBT pride symbols.
This is a reflection about the way corporations appropriate people’s causes, symbols and codes.
