So today is the Chicago Pride Parade. It’s been in the news a lot recently not only because it’s kind of a big deal every year, but this year marks 40 years since the Stonewall Riots.
Here’s the thing: I had no idea what the Stonewall Riots were. So I googled it to find out. (Relevent result: here.)
What was more interesting to me was the Google result page. Here’s a screenshot:
Notice anything? The dividing line between the header and the results section? It’s not usually like that. I thought maybe Google had changed all the results pages to have the rainbow, and I assumed they’d have a special Google Doodle for the day. Not the case. I did a handful of searches, and I got the rainbow divider for “gay pride“, “pride parade“, and just plain old “gay“. Anyhow, I always get a kick out of finding little easter-egg type things online; they make otherwise boring web-surfing a tad bit more interesting.
