Google’s Banner for D-Day: Another Festivity in Pride Month
On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Google’s focus shifted to LGBTQ+ Pride Month celebrations, featuring activist Jeanne Córdova on its homepage. This switch sparked controversy, as some criticized Google for overshadowing the historical event. The move stirred debate on social media, highlighting differing views on how significant events should be commemorated. To mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Google highlighted LGBTQ+ Pride Month with activist Jeanne Córdova on its homepage. This decision stirred controversy, with critics accusing Google of overshadowing the historical event. The move sparked discussions on social media, underscoring the varying perspectives on commemorating significant events.
Thursday, June 6, marked the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion — D-Day — a major turning point in the European theater. For Google, apparently, June 6 was just another day of a month-long LGBTQ+ Pride celebration.
Google’s “doodle” on the D-Day anniversary was author and activist Jeanne Córdova – and a handy tab underneath the search bar on the home page steered visitors toward “Pride”-related content.
“In honor of Pride Month this Doodle celebrates Chicana lesbian activist, feminist, and author Jeanne Córdova, a pioneering leader of the LGBTQ+ rights movement,” Google described the June 6 “doodle.”
