15 Pride Memes That Spread Equality

by Lindsay E. Mack

June is Pride Month, which means a month-long celebration of the culture, history, and triumphs of the LGBTQ community. Although the push for social and legal equality is a serious matter, it's important to find humor and levity in every situation. For that reason, checking out Pride memes and pics will help you appreciate the community's resilience and good humor in the face of oppression. Plus, there's some killer puns and obligatory cat pictures in the mix. It's still internet humor, after all.

Like anything else, Pride memes and pics run the gamut from silly to sincere. Some are one-off puns about common LGBTQ words. Others take a more nuanced approach at what it means to "look gay," or why Pride celebrations are needed at all. Sometimes, a quick quip can make you rethink something, or see a situation from a different point of view, better than a long-form piece. There is power in humor.

Wherever you happen to fall on the spectrum of sexuality, these memes are sure to brighten your June. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, and straight people alike enjoy a silly dad joke now and then, right? Perhaps silly internet humor can help bring people together. Everybody loves hacky Photoshop images and boatloads of rainbows, after all.
