Facebook has a super easy way to celebrate gay pride

Expect to see a lot of rainbow filters this weekend.

Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Gay Marriage

Not to be outdone by Google’s search results celebrating gay marriage, Facebook is helping its users convert their profile pictures into emblems of gay pride. The social network unveiled a new feature Friday that lets users quickly apply a rainbow-colored filter to their existing profile picture. The filter mimics the gay pride flag and arrives just two days before the annual pride parade in New York.

To see how your own profile picture looks with the new filter, visit facebook.com/celebratepride.
