Anti-LGBTQ Facebook Pages Trolled with Rainbow Emojis

One week after Facebook introduced a “rainbow” emoji as another type of “like” for LGBTQ Pride Month, social media users have launched a campaign against various anti-LGBTQ rights groups, whose Facebook pages are now overwhelmed with the multicolored flag on all their posts.

The emoji especially flooded the Facebook page of Roy Moore, Alabama's Supreme Court Chief Justice and prominent opponent of same-sex marriage.

Moore was suspended for urging 68 state probate judges to refuse to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, despite contrary rulings by a federal court and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Moore is running for Attorney General Jeff Sessions' former Senate seat.

The initiative reached France, as social media users targeted various anti-LGBTQ groups, including the Manif Pour Tous, which led the demonstration against the socialist government's bill that legalized same-sex marriage in the country, as well as the Sens Commun, and the fundamentalist Catholic group France Jeunesse Civitas, among others.
