"Every June, we celebrate the contributions the LGBTQ+ community have made to our nation's past, present, and future - but we must recommit ourselves to doing everything in our power to protect the community from discrimination and harm and deliver full and equal rights to LGBTQ+ Americans," she wrote on June 4. Kamala previously kicked off Pride Month with a poignant post about its significance on Instagram. "There is so much more work to do, and I know we are committed." We need, still, protections around employment and housing," Kamala said, according to NBC Washington. "We need to make sure that our transgender community and our youth are all protected. While there, Kamala delivered a brief speech, advocating for the passing of the Equality Act, which protects LGBTQ+ people from discrimination in the workplace, schools, and other key areas of life.

Meme Insider is a Know Your Meme publication and the world's leading internet culture magazine. This can be seen in a multitude of ways, but usually through the use of Photoshop and Impact font on still images. Instead of poking fun at LGBTQ or the corporations, some decided to just make memes about the month itself, or rather the idea of a "pride month" in a metaphorical context. Some took a middle road when it came to memes about pride. On various social media and meme-sharing sites, anti-corporate memes with a pride element were posted and shared in abundance, completely dominating the weekend leading into the start of Pride Month yesterday. What they didn't expect, however, was a large upswell in memes mocking them for their predictable behavior. As expected, on June 1st, many public entities, subreddits and corporations changed their profile pictures to filters with rainbow flags and put up messages supporting LGBTQ+ initiatives. Leading up to June this year, people were already anticipating the large corporate shift that was obviously about to happen. These memes centered around how immediately after June ended, all the companies that had rainbow flags and Pride Month messages shifted back to their regular talking points and disregarded their previous branding, like Halloween decorations being taken down on November 1st.
The crack in the armor started last year with Companies When Pride Month Ends. Soon that joy and acceptance of the commercialization, the woke sales tactics, became just a little too obvious, and people started to meme the pandering to gay culture or the exploitation of Pride Month. At first, it was celebrated, as pride became a more mainstream topic and with corporations backing it, but it seems the empty corporate platitudes have worn thin. However, a trend that has been increasing in recent years is the overcommercialization of Pride Month.
This is an exciting time of year for many people, even those who aren't a part of the group but consider themselves allies. Welcome to the first week of Pride Month! Every year, all of June is dedicated to the expression and acceptance of LGBTQ+ pride.
