Kate Upton, the better-half of Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander, turned to Instagram and posted pictures of herself in lovely attire in seven distinct shades. The purpose of her Instagram post is to proudly advocate for Pride Month, which is celebrated from June 1 to June 30 each year. Kate took a unique approach to honor LGBTQIA+ people's rights and their unending struggles for equality.
Kate captioned the carousel post, "What better reason to wear rainbow. Happy Pride Month! Swipe to see some of my favorite colorful looks over the years."
