June is Gay Pride Month and Google is celebrating.
If you Google the word "Gay" right now, a multicolor banner is emblazoned around the search bar.

Though timely in light of the Supreme Court's decisions today striking down DOMA and Proposition 8, the colorful banner has been available all month.
Google has been a long-time supporter of LGBT rights, recently hosting speakers and participating in fundraising efforts throughout June.
