Facebook updates status
It appears social networking site Facebook is moving with the times, adding 鈥榗ivil unions鈥� and 鈥榙omestic partnerships鈥� to the list of relationship status options.
It鈥檚 understood the new fields are being added in Australia, the US, France, Canada and the UK from today.
Facebook鈥檚 Andrew Noyes said the change has been made as a result of the high number of requests from users to add the two options.
The Huffington Post today reported the change was made in consultation with Facebook鈥檚 Network of Support which includes the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, and the Human Rights Campaign as members.
