The original Pride began as a protest against police brutality in the Stonewall Riots, and the mission of Pride is a serious one that shouldn’t be taken lightly, despite its colorful motifs and parades. But that doesn’t mean we can’t also celebrate our LGBTQIA+ communities without a sense of humor. These memes capture much of the struggles, both serious and amusing, of Pride and beyond. Whether you’re cis, trans, ace, gay, bi, nonbinary—whatever you want—grab your rainbow flag (or corporate rainbow merch—we see you!) and get ready to giggle and get educated with these Pride Month memes.
