Pride Day: Google celebrates 50 years of LGBTQ community with a doodle
Google on Tuesday honoured the 50 long years of Pride with an interactive video, visualising 50 years of parades. The Doodle illustrates five decades of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) history starting from 1969 till 2019.
