As part of our June memes, we couldn’t leave out a virtual hug for our LGBTQ+ friends. Enjoy these pride month memes to celebrate the vibrant tapestry of individuals with a wide array of experiences and unique identities that encompass what this month is.
Rainbow Flag Meme
In 1978, the iconic rainbow flag, designed by artist Gilbert Baker, unfurled its vibrant hues at the San Francisco Pride parade.
This flag became a universal symbol of Pride, representing the beautiful diversity within the LGBTQ+ community and the compassion that binds us all together.
LGBTQ+
The beautiful thing about the LGBTQ+ community is its rich diversity. It’s important to keep in mind that not everyone within the LGBTQ+ community will identify with all the terms we commonly associate with it.
Each person’s journey is different, and we should respect and honor their self-identified pronouns and identities. Celebrate pride with this happy gay month meme.
Create inclusive space where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected for who they truly are. Let’s celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and use the terms they prefer, spreading pride month memes, love, compassion and understanding along the way.
History of Pride Month
Ever wonder why June is pride month? This history lessons starts with the Stonewall Riots.
Our story unfolds in the late 1960s, a time when LGBTQ+ individuals faced rampant discrimination and social stigma. In the midst of these challenging circumstances, a sanctuary emerged—a place called the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village. This bar became a refuge for queer individuals, offering a sense of belonging in a world that often denied them their true selves.
In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a monumental event unfolded. Fueled by a shared desire for liberation and justice, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back against a police raid, refusing to be silenced any longer.
The ensuing days of protest, known as the Stonewall Riots, marked a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
Pride Rises from the Ashes: In the wake of the Stonewall Riots, LGBTQ+ communities across the United States felt a renewed sense of resilience and determination. The following year, on the anniversary of the riots, the first Pride parades were organized in various cities.
These parades served as a poignant reminder of the power of unity and a testament to the unwavering spirit of the LGBTQ+ community.

While remarkable progress has been made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, challenges persist.
Pride Month stands as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for full equality, demanding that we remain vigilant and committed to building a world free from discrimination.
Over the last few months, we have seen the LGBTQ+ discrimination in full force. From the Dylan Mulvaney Budweiser campaign to North Face, and Target – the hypocrisy and hatred is in full force.
Far Right Christian Hypocrisy
Unfortunately, the majority of the homophobia is coming from the Christian right.
Yes, the same folks that praise a God who loves all – are casting hate on our gay friends and neighbors.
