Every day, billions of people around the world use Facebook to nurture and showcase the connections that matter most to them. Facebook provides a range of features intended to facilitate connection, including the ability to list a "relationship status" on a profile.

Unfortunately, Facebook limits users to listing just one relationship status on their profile, an arbitrary restriction that prevents non-monogamous individuals from celebrating the connections that matter most to them.

At best, this feature restriction perpetuates the erasure and marginalization of non-monogamy.  At worst, it harms non-monogamous users by perpetuating social stigmas about authenticity of non-monogamous relationships.
