Google Gay Pride Month
Google is standing strong with its support of gay rights this month by displaying a rainbow ribbon for LGBT-related searches to mark Gay Pride Month.

The Gay Pride inspired artwork shows up across the top of the search results page for a number of LGBT terms, including:

  • gay pride month
  • gay rights
  • LGBT
  • same sex marriage

Google has featured rainbow-colored artwork for LGBT-related searches during Gay Pride Month for several years now.

This year, Google’s support is being shown via a rainbow-colored ribbon strung across the top of the search results page (the Google logo in the upper left-hand corner is not associated with Gay Pride Month, but today’s Google Doodle honoring Lotte Reiniger):
