About 200 of 330 people on my friends list have done it. Of those 200, maybe 3 have been to America at least once. I have no idea why they're celebrating. They're Australian and Gay Marriage is still illegal.

One could argue that Spain or New Zealand legalizing same-sex marriage would be just as much motivation for a major push to have it legalized in Australia, as the US or any other country.

Y'know?

Y'know?Well, in both cases, major news articles/reports were made about it. I have a feeling that US citizens did the Rainbow thing first, and then Australian Facebookers, being the bandwagoners that they are, joined in on the display picture-changing.
So the faded rainbow profile pic thing on FB...
