ADVERTISEMENTHappy 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.
