I think my favorite thing I saw was the Opera GX Twitter account changed their pfp to two men kissing in their logo. On one hand it was just a silly meme, but it also made me think how the rainbow logos have become just a standard thing that no one really cares about after so many years. The rainbow has very little to do with what homosexuality actually is, it's just a flag. I get that the flag holds a lot of meaning, but I'd love it if this caught on and eventually all the logos during pride month featured same-sex couples kissing or hugging or getting married, actual representations of gay people rather than just the rainbow.
I didn't see that, but I like it! You're right that it's a better gesture than just sticking a rainbow somewhere. Homophobes hate guys kissing more than they hate rainbows. (It is probably bad that one of the ways I judge expressions of support for LGBT+ folks is "would homophobes/transphobia/etc flip out about this," but hey, at least I admit it...?)
