Google Celebrates LGBT Pride Month

I've always loved the way Google revamps their logo to celebrate holidays, certain people, and certain events. Here's a new one pointed out by Pink News :

During the month of June, Google is celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Pride. For some Pride-related search queries, we are showing a rainbow divider that separates the search query on the top of the page from the organic search results and AdWords advertisements below.

I'm glad that Google did this. It's a nice nod. At the same time, it feels like they hid it, because the rainbow bar is only there for people who go looking for those terms.

What do you think?

I'm glad that Google decided to support the LGBT community, but, like you said, it's a bit subtle. I think it would have been a great if they had changed their logo temporarily, like they do for holidays and any other notable day. If you're going to support something, don't do with your other foot out the door.
