"ReaganBook" is back!

Remember a couple months ago, Janet Porter said "Facebook" was "too gay," so she started "ReaganBook," but it was flooded by people having fun with it.
So Porter closed it down.

It's back!

Under a new name, (you'll love it,) "FreedomBook."

Facebook Alternative 'ReaganBook' Is Back, Now Rebranded As 'FreedomBook'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 10/15/2014 1:00 pm

Over the summer, Religious Right activist Janet Porter launched her very own competitor to Facebook, which she called “ReaganBook,” but quickly pulled the site after “those intent on the destruction of life, liberty, and the family” joined the outlet, which she bizarrely claimed was a threat to her freedom of speech. Porter, the founder of Faith 2 Action, described ReaganBook as a “Facebook for patriots,” warning that Facebook has a pro-gay bias. She eventually took ReaganBook offline, telling members that “we’re under attack” from people who joined the right-wing social media website only to mock it. Now, Porter has rebranded ReaganBook as FreedomBook and is only allowing people with invitations to join. So far, FreedomBook only lists four members, including Porter.
