Pinterest Details Spikes in Pride-Related Searches

Results for Pinners will be displayed in rainbow colors

The 2020 edition of LGBTQ Pride Month comes without many of its typical large parades and festivals due to Covid-19, but Pinterest is not lacking for related activity on its platform.

Pinterest said in a blog post that it compared searches from April 20 through May 17 with the exact same time period in 2019, and it found spikes in queries for LGBTQ coming-out stories (93%), drag makeup (77%) and transgender transition (70%).

In addition, searches for LGBT pride quotes were up eight times year-over-year, and there were more modest increases in queries for rainbow nail art (55%), pride illustration (44%) and bi pride tattoo (30%).

For Pinners taking their relationships to the next level, searches for lesbian proposal tripled year-over-year, while lesbian wedding suit saw a 96% surge.
