Removed by Facebook

Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary of The Stonewall Riots. Many people on Facebook in support of gay rights posted the same image that I did in my article about it. Its a picture of a neon sign outside the Stonewall Inn with a rainbow, words and a date. Thats it. —No swearing, no pornographic imagery, no bigotry, nothing offensive.

Today I was shocked to find a post from the Support Marriage Equality in Ohio Facebook page stating that their posting of the image yesterday had been removed for violating their “Statement of Rights and Responsibilities”.

*blink, blink*

I’m curious to know exactly what rights and responsibilities Facebook thought they were violating.
