...but they're working toward multiple profiles per account.

At first it might seem that multiple profiles directly address the OP's problem, but I'm not sure. Having a way to communicate with completely separate groups of friends is one thing, but having a way to communicate with overlapping groups of friends is quite another. AFAICT the multiple-profile feature doesn't solve the latter.
Also, the way it's implemented wrt blocking is a bit of a disaster for members of marginalized groups. Blocking is per profile, not per account, so a stalker/harasser who has had one profile blocked can trivially create another to continue their mayhem. It's ironic, because a good implementation of multiple profiles would actually be useful to protect vulnerable people. As usual, though, Facebook found a way to make it actively harmful.
