The image I have chosen to provide is the pride flag emoji. The pride flag emoji was released in March of this year, after a push for representation and inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community. The emoji is a tiny picture of the pride flag, and can be accessed via the Apple keyboard. I chose this image because the establishment of the pride flag as an emoji meant the LGBTQ+ community could see representation of themselves in our technologically- immersed world, especially with the role emojis have in pop culture.
