pink triangle
Nazi persecution badge
A pink triangle is a symbol of LGBTQ+ identity and pride.
The Nazis forced gay male prisoners to wear inverted pink triangles in concentration camps as identification badges.
Gay rights activists reclaimed the symbol in the 1970s, often displaying it point-up to invert the original stigma: The pink triangle became a rallying symbol during the AIDS crisis.
