They have been doing this for months already... As a gay man listed in a relationship on facebook, 90% of the ads I see on the right are 'gay themed', or 'gay directed'. Pisses me off..... I sleep with men, well one man, but that doesn't mean I give a crap about circuit parties, gay cruises, etc....

Whine whine whine. Advertising is evil, websites can support themselves on donations alone, blah blah blah.
Same old internet hippy garbage.

I'm all for paranoia, but it's not "selling your data". We don't get copies of it. Godamn big difference.
