These examples of World Pride-worthy illustrations are telling about the new world people are living in. Although progress is still being made for LGBT rights and equality around the globe, viral infographics and pop culture artworks revolving around such subject matter show that changes in people's thoughts and actions have changed significantly.
Whether that means the inclusion of a gay couple in family friendly comic book series such as 'Archie' or the creation of emoticons for the LGBT community and beyond, these World Pride-worthy illustrations are not only inclusive, but also pervasive. It is only a matter of time before all artworks are sexually neutral. Yet considering that gender is still an issue, that may take some time.
