If you log onto Facebook today and Prop 8 is somewhere on your Profile, this badge probably popped up:
Well, that isn't a surprise, the typical Los Angeleno might say to themselves. But wait--there's more:
Prop 8 was just overturned!
We're asking everyone to fly a Rainbow Flag on their Facebook profile to show support for same sex marriage.
42,319 Rainbow Flags are proudly flying! Can we get 1 million people who support same sex marriage?
Would you like to post a Rainbow Flag on your profile?

Who would say no? Well, who would say no to posting a Rainbow Flag if you already posted about Prop 8 being overturned?
Great, you say. I not only "liked" every status about Prop 8 possible and posted myself, but now this Rainbow Flag is proudly flying. Could life be better?
The last thing after posting the flag to your profile?
This app brought to you by Jerry Brown 2010. Jerry Brown has long fought against proposition 8.
Ladies and gentleman, thus starts the "trigger finger" effect. Unless you are a walking talking contradiction, if you oppose Prop 8 then you oppose Meg Whitman (assuming she still supports Prop 8 this hour). So after flashing this rainbow flag, why wouldn't you "like" Jerry Brown's Facebook page, which then takes you to his website, his Twitter account, his YouTube.....
Way to take the proposition by the horns, Jerry. Excellent double-teaming to convey a strong message and set into motion a social networker's "trigger finger."
