30 Of The Funniest Memes And Tweets To Kick Off Pride Month
Happy Pride Month, dear Pandas! Traditionally, June is dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and the freedom for everyone to be themselves and to remind the world of the importance of equality, dignity, tolerance, and respect. And just like every year, the internet is buzzing with funny memes, posts, tweets, and comments about Pride Month.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most hilarious and insightful memes that will make you not just laugh but also think about the deeper social commentary (companies that rainbow-up their logos the moment June starts just to pretend that they care about human rights all year long, we’re looking at you). Scroll down, upvote your fave memes, let us know in the comments which ones you loved the most and why, and let us know what your plans for Pride Month are going to be.
Entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert Mike Sington from Lost Angeles shared with Bored Panda what Pride Month is like on the West Coast of the US. "Pride Month in California is a big deal, and every city and town, large and small, celebrates it in one way or another," he said.
According to Mike, who's known as Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, California is a true haven for the LGBTQ+ community. It's not just about general acceptance and tolerance in society, though; it's about the laws in place as well. "California is one of the most liberal and forward-thinking states, so LGBTQ rights are protected in California by law much more so than in many other states," he told Bored Panda.

Just because someone is gay, that doesn't mean that their fabulous. I'm sure many of them are as grey, drab and miserable as the rest of us straight folk.

@YoChicken Straight month is literally every other month, I don't think you should complain or else our army might decide to rise

Companies : *put rainbow colours on the same things as usual. Sell them at a higher price. Make more money and get a good reputation.

YOU GUYS- it's talking about their kitchens, as in, gay people are welcome and they won't discriminate against people they hire because of their sexuality, they just phrased it really badly. Also it might not even be true. So.

Don't treat me special because I'm gay, don't treat me badly because I'm gay, just treat me as a human being and with the kindness you'd want for yourself.

I believe Pope Francis said something similar. Gay people are actual people and should be treated with respect?!? *le gasp*

My gay friends cringe and hate gay pride month. I see them as Dave, Mike, Dawn and Claire (not real names) and they see me as Boris (again not real name) They despise the rainbow because it is caused by the natural refraction of light through a prismatic source and not sexual attraction. They hate gay people who say "How do you know if you haven't tried it?" and wish corporations would stop drawing attention to it. Fix homophobia by proper education and let the gays have a normal life. And I agree with them. A lot of gay people who joined the parades because of June will be the proud recipients of homophobic hate mail in July despite everyone knowing they were gay in the first place. What they would prefer is a weekend of a gay event to raise awareness and understanding rather than a month of ramming it down peoples throats with nothing to show for it

I agree. A lot of schools including mine have 'gay organizations' which does not make people who are LGBTQ+ feel valued or normal, in fact it makes us feel like we are something for people too see, to put on display. It's shoved down our throats that straight people UndERsTAnD but what you're doing is making being not straight abnormal, which in turn makes it harder for me to come out too people as they might treat me differently. I think it's ok to joke about it, but in the same way you would joke about a straight person.
