One commenter vented against the presence of the Pride Flag emoji, saying, “Lucifer and the LGBT community are perverting any form of God they can find. One of them was evangelist and Internet personality Joshua Feuerstein, who shared another member’s image on Facebook demanding an emoji featuring a white cross surrounded by a red circle.įeuerstein’s post generated at least 28,000 likes, 2,400 comments and more than 9,500 shares. That group consisted of conservative Christians who, chagrined by the nod to the LGBTQ community, wanted Facebook to give them their very own emoji - a Christian cross.
But there were some who weren’t so enthusiastic about the colorful image that briefly took its place next to the standard reaction possibilities of Like, Love, HaHa, Wow, Sad and Angry.
