Instagram Releases New Rainbow Stickers For Gay Pride Month

Instagram tapped a group of queer artists to design new, eye-catching icons that celebrate the LGBT community.

It's officially Pride month—we know because Instagram has released a new series of LGBT-themed stickers for Instagram Stories. The platform has also issued a new rainbow brush, allowing users to be even more creative with their Pride.

Artists Carra Sykes, Andy Simmonds, Cute Brute, José Antonio Roda, and Josh McKenna contributed images for the stickers—which include a voguer, a rainbow megaphone, and eye with the trans flag in it. (You can tap on a sticker to find out who created it.)

Instagram is also taking its Pride campaign into the real world—transforming locations that are frequently Instagrammed, like the Paul Smith store in L.A. The platform sponsored painting the shop's iconic pink wall in rainbow hues in recognition of Pride Month.
