Every year, the month of June is celebrated as ‘Pride Month’ by the LGBTQI+ community. After 50 years of struggle, awareness and support for the community is at an all-time high. With each passing day, more and more people are accepting the fact that #LoveIsLove and embracing the rainbow flag.
Recently, Jiwandeep Kohli, a California-based neuroscientist and amateur pastry chef decided to step up his style game and sport a ‘Pride Turban’. Bright and joyful rainbow colours have always symbolised the diversity of the community and this is the perfect way to celebrate Pride Month, don’t you think?
I’m proud to be a bisexual bearded baking brain scientist. I feel fortunate to be able to express all these aspects of my identity, and will continue to work toward ensuring the same freedom for others. #PrideMonth #PrideTurban #LoveIsLove pic.twitter.com/SVhc0iwDF0

Mr. Kohli identifies as a proud bisexual himself and took to Twitter to share his masterpiece. His tweet currently has 35,000 likes and 4,800 retweets to its name. Everyone was impressed with his handiwork and were curious to know how he included the six colours to his black turban.
Here is how he managed the brilliant feat!
Thank you! It’s sort of both. One of my normal black turbans that I supplemented with strips of other colors in exactly the right places. Took about an hour of tying, untying, and safety pinning, but totally worth it!

Kudos to Mr. Kohli for being open about his sexual orientation and thinking of such a colourful and wholesome way to depict his fight for equality. This truly is the most positive photo on the internet today.
