Since June, "rainbow" seems to be the most common element recently. This symbol of pride is actually a very symbolic element for LGBTQ group, which symbolizes gender openness, self-awareness and equal human rights.
Perhaps many people don't know much about "Pride Month". In fact, "Pride Month" has an essential connection with the "Stonewall Riots" in the United States. Looking back on June 28, 1969 in New York, USA, a violent incident occurred, where the police beat LGBTQ people in a bar called Stonewall, and then the incident escalated. LGBTQ people started an uprising called "Stonewall Riots" with grief and anger.
With the occurrence of the Stonewall Riots, the incident gradually spread to the world. It was this "butterfly effect" that prompted the global LGBTQ people to gradually realize their own value and challenge the "morbid society". Finally, under the parade and resistance of people, the LGBTQ people got their due human rights. Finally, in 2011, former US President Barack Obama officially designated June as the "Pride Month" for LGBTQ people, on the one hand, to celebrate the success of the Stonewall Riots, on the other hand, to celebrate that LGBTQ people have gained their due human rights and been tolerated by society through unremitting efforts.
The rights and interests of LGBTQ groups have changed greatly in today's society, and discrimination incidents have gradually decreased. In order to spread this culture representing "tolerance", the theme activity of Pride Month in 2022 has kicked off today.
Microsoft
To celebrate Pride Month, Microsoft Xbox announced the launch of a new rainbow handle that combines the flags of 34 different ethnic groups. According to Xbox official website, these flags are "a celebration of the nuances, complexity, intersections and strength of different communities in a fine and interwoven way." Gamepads will be available for purchase through Xbox Design Lab official website from June 9.
Thailand
Two days before LGBTQIA + Pride Month was officially opened, it was a rainbow heat wave in front of the Central World, where fashionistas from all walks of life in Thailand took catwalks and took photos. For this event, a 40-meter-long rainbow red carpet was laid in front of the Central World, and more than 100 Thai fashion celebrities, including Rusameekae, The Face Thailand and Drag Race Thailand, etc., came to support this event.
On June 5, Chadchart, Mayor of Bangkok, Thailand, went to attend the celebration of Pride Month held in the Sri Mahamariaman Temple-Silom Road. It is reported that this is also the first celebration of Pride Month for minorities held in Bangkok. On that day, many LGBTQ + groups gathered near Silom Road. They wore rainbow clothes and held rainbow flags to advocate equal rights. The scene was spectacular.
Ford
Pride Month is in full swing in America. To celebrate this auspicious moment, Blue Oval has created a truly special Ford Bronco, paying tribute to the LGBTQ + community. The brightly colored SUV (known as the Dash) is decorated with all the colors of the Pride flag, and rainbows flow from the blunt front panel, surrounding the ideal SUV. The delightful shiny gold finish on the back half enhances the compelling design.
BMW also added a proud flag to the 8-Series convertible in 2020 and, like Ford, continues to support the LGBTQ + community with great moves. Sadly, these projects often cause a lot of negative attention and hatred, but we appreciate the automakers' support not only for their marginalized employees, but also for the whole community.
If there is any color in June, it must be rainbow color. There will be many activities on the theme of Pride Month next. Let's look forward together.
