Google celebrates Pride with new Hangouts Easter eggs


Google celebrates Pride with new Hangouts Easter eggs

LGBT Pride Month may be about to end, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late for Google to add some new Easter eggs to Hangouts – especially given today’s momentous Supreme Court Ruling legalizing same-sex marriage throughout the US.

Typing “happy pride” into Hangouts will show a randomly selected animation. There appear to be three animations: a parade of emoji waving a Pride flag, an animated rainbow, and one of two emoji kissing.

A week ago, Google introduced a set of Pride-themed Androidify characters, which you could dress up to participate in a virtual Pride parade this weekend.
