Recently, US-based clinical psychologist Jiwandeep Kohli became a viral sensation, when he shared a photo of his rainbow turban – which he had worn to celebrate the pride month as a proud bisexual.
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

The post, that was liked over 100k times, also attracted the attention of former US President Barack Obama, who appreciated both, his gesture and his stylish turban.
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
