Symbol of Horror, Symbol of pride. Pink Triangle Day

"When Hitler took power in 1933, he launched a campaign to persecute gay people. Thousands were sent to Nazi concentration camps where they were identified by a pink triangle. Today, to commemorate those victims of Nazi hatred and as a reminder that they are still targets for bigotry, Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals have defiantly reclaimed the Pink Triangle as a symbol of pride. February 14"
