(FB Employee) FacebookRecruiting can provide a better answer but in case yours doesn't I thought I would give a reply.

Facebook is a very LGBT-friendly company. We have many internal / informal groups and the LGBT group is substantially large. Pride week is also celebrated at FB.

Employees are encouraged to express their true selves. Anecdotally speaking, a number of my coworkers are gay.

(FB Employee here) I work at FB and I have 3 kids.

Facebook is very generous when it comes to parental perks IMO. 4 months parental leave on a new arrivals, Baby Cash / Allowance for baby-related purchases and Dependent Care FSA to help pay for day care. They also provide a free subscription to Care.com. The environment, in general, tends to be flexible to accommodate working parents.

While many of the engineers tend to skew younger due to the recruitment of people right out of college, a fair percentage of employees are married and/or have children.
