Jiwandeep Kohli is a proud bisexual! He showed his pride in a rainbow-colored, custom-made turban that he posted to Twitter on June 1st. He said he made the colorful turban using normal black turbans that he supplemented with strips of other colors in exactly the right places. Kohli says it took him about an hour of tying, untying, and safety pinning to get it just right. Kohli said to Buzzfeed News, "A few years ago I saw a photo of another Sikh man at a pride parade who had a few colors in his turban... I was looking at that, and I realized the way I tie mine it had the exact right number of layers to make a rainbow."
