Is it me or is there much less of a Facebook campaign with Rainbow flags than French/Belgian flags..

...for this round of terror? I felt like there were a lot more "Je suis Charlie" and French/Belgian flags from those terror events. Now a lot of those people are carrying on with Facebook like it is just a normal Sunday when their own countrymen (who happen to mostly be gay) are slaughtered wholesale.

Maybe it is just me...are other people seeing a strong campaign on FB with people changing their profiles to rainbow flags and standing with the lGBT community in solidarity the way peopke did for terror in Europe?

1. Yes, it's just you

This literally just happened.

2. Why didn't you change your avatar.....?

Hmmm......suspicious.

[Lucky Luciano]

3. I never change. There are countless atrocities daily that don't get recognized.

Not right for me to only recognize western pain and ignore Nigerian villages that get completely slaughtered. However, I was noticing different behavior from people who do have a history of changing their profile pics etc. on DU, I only use my iPhone, so I never see avatars here anyway. Not even sure what avatar I am showing.

4. your avatar is the generic vague head and shoulder shape. I think that's the default DU one nt

5. I'm sure you were right.

Some people didn't have to decide whom they hated most after the attacks in Europe.

6. i noticed that too; i had a hard time finding a site that had a decent rainbow flag app.

the new york times definitely seem to downplay the incident on the webpage; just another day.

7. i don't really know--in answer to your question

but i will tell you this is the FIRST time i changed my profile pic and i changed it to the rainbow flag with the candle

been busy all day and evening--didn't find out about this until 11pm sunday night

i am horrified and furious

i am so fucking sick of these fucking assault rifle pieces of shit i can't begin to tell you

8. Yes it's sickening.

I have a particularly hard time thinking about the man texting his "mommy" as he phrased it from the bathroom as he knew he would die. Really gets to me. I just read he is confirmed dead. Eddie Justice.
