Pride Month kicked off on June 1 and honors the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) community while commemorating New York's Stonewall riots in June 1969 that signaled a turning point in the movement for equal rights.

There were a few people asking where they can get their own rainbow turban. Kohli in response said he wanted them to know that turbans were responsibility for Sikhs and it's not the same as throwing on a rainbow hat.

"I wouldn't want people to have the impression that I'm just wearing it as an accessory," he said. "A turban is a sign to the world that you're a person the world can turn to for help."

Many Twitter users drew a lot of praise for his inspiring ideas.

"You bake brains? j/k But in all seriousness your turban is the absolute ne plus ultra cool manifestation of #Pride2019 that I’ve seen today. You. Are. Inspiring," one Twitter user wrote.

"That pride turban is the most amazing thing I’ve seen today!" another wrote.

“Appreciate how @jiwandeepkohli’s post is bringing forth the lesser understood topics of #intersectionality amidst promoting awareness towards #Sikhism, #turbans and #pride in such a joyous fashion! Much befitting to the very punjabiness of the man!” another wrote.
