Every year, millions of people including celebrities come out and show their support for the community by showcasing rainbow colors that signifies the diversity of this vibrant set of individuals. It is heart-warming how with more people are coming out in open and accepting the that #LoveIsLove and everyone is free to love.

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

This picture received a lot of praise (unexpectedly) and people loved Mr Kohli’s creativity. So much so that, Barack Obama himself retweeted and complimented him.

You've got a lot to be proud of, Jiwandeep. Thanks for everything you do to make this country a little more equal. Turban looks great, by the way. Happy Pride Month, everybody! https://t.co/SO7mgnOkgl

Netizens were also curious as to how he tied the turban. And some could even see it as a fashion trend!

I so love your turban! Is it all one piece? Or do you have a cheeky way of adding the rainbow colors? If the former, that is some seriously skilled tying going on there!

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!

It’s a fab design you need to find a manufacturer and get this out. I can imagine it being worn here in London too. Love it.

That is the absolute best dastaar EVER. Happy Pride, Jiwandeep. ??

Appreciate how @jiwandeepkohli’s post is bringing forth the lesser understood topics of #intersectionality amidst promoting awareness towards #Sikhism, #turbans and #pride in such a joyous fashion! Much befitting to the very punjabiness of the man! ?

I'm not sure which is cooler...that you're a neuroscientist...a pastry chef and you have that awesome rainbow turban!

Like Buckaroo Banzi! :)?
