Not long after Facebook announced same-sex marriage icons, the social network’s co-founder, Chris Hughes, posted to his page that he married his longtime boyfriend, Sean Eldridge.

Hughes, a 2006 Harvard grad, started Facebook with Mark Zuckerberg, but left in 2008 to work on President Barack Obama’s online campaign. He now owns the left-leaning political magazine The New Republic.
