Amazing Rainbow Turban Photo Goes Viral for Pride

The best thing about celebrating Pride is that it sees people from all walks of life coming together and celebrating in their own unique ways.

Jiwandeep Kohli embodied that spirit when he shared a photo of the rainbow-themed turban he made for Pride to Twitter on Saturday.

“I’m proud to be a bisexual bearded baking brain scientist,” he wrote. “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.”

\u201cI\u2019m 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\u00a0 #PrideTurban #LoveIsLove\u201d

Kohli immediately began receiving requests from other folks about where they could get a turban like his.

“Don’t think you can, I made this one myself,” he responded.

“[It’s] one of my normal black turbans that I supplemented with strips of other colors in exactly the right places,” Kohli added. “Took about an hour of tying, untying, and safety pinning, but totally worth it!”

Along with the hopefuls looking to snag a rainbow turban like Kohli’s, a number of people tweeted him simply to compliment both his look and his outlook.
