Will Facebook Decide?

Okay, I'm not sure if everyone is aware about the bleeding red/equality sign trend that has recently taken over Facebook (atleast my news feed is full of it) in an attempt to raise awareness and support for Marriage Equality? Well, if you haven't... it's basically a virtual cyberspace 'movement' in which alot of people are changing their profile picture to a red equality sign and usually attaching some kind of supportive status about equal rights for all and such as that. First, I just want to mention how amazing it is to see such an amazing number of people out there who are supportive of same-sex marriage! (This gives me hope for humanity) On the other hand, amongst all my sea of scrolling I would come across one or two of my friends who had posted an opposition picture or status denouncing equal rights for LGBTQIA individuals. In regards to this, I thought the most interesting thing was the comments that were left on these peoples status'.
I read through one comment conversation last night that went through almost 40 comments back and forth, seemingly ending what I think had been a friendship. I also read where other people were deleting friends who did not share the same view as them, and one of the most interesting things I read was a comment made by a man who changed his picture to a crossed out equal sign... the two comment conversation went thusly:
Supporter: "So long....."
Opposition: "Girls don't count..."

I couldn't help but get fired up about this! He is opposed to marriage equality only if it is two men getting married?! Is this because women (of all race,class, and orientation) seen as lesser individuals in the first place? Does it have anything to do with the "romanticized" image of two lesbian women, that is somehow appealing to heterosexual men? Why do 'girls not count'? Is this trying to imply that lesbian and bisexual women can marry other women then, but men can't marry men because that will somehow make them less manly?

I'm a woman, damn it! And you better bet your ass that I count!
Sorry, for the rant and rage everyone...The opposing pictures don't upset me (I understand some people are opposed to homosexuality) and I respect the right to voice one's own opinion (obviously). I could go on ranting for days, but I will spare you the time... In short, what is everyone else take on this recent Facebook phenom?
