All in Favor of Equality

Over the last couple of days, Facebook has turned a bright shade of red, as countless people (many friends of Solipsist included) have changed their profile pictures to a red "equal" sign.  Someone somewhere decided that this symbol would indicate support for same-sex marriage and express one's hope that the Supreme Court decide in favor of those seeking to overturn once and for all California's Proposition 8, which outlawed such unions.

Now, I know how much Supreme Court justices are influenced by social-networking memes, particularly those involving gay marriage or kittens.  I have nevertheless not updated my profile picture.  I would like to take this opportunity to assure my legions of followers that this in no way indicates disapproval of same-sex marriage, something I fully support; it simply indicates utter laziness.

Hope that clears everything up.
