badge used in Nazi concentration camps to identify homosexual men and transgender women prisoners, later revived in the 1970s as a symbol of protest against homophobia and adopted as a symbol of LGBTQ pride and queer liberation
A pink triangle in the original Nazi orientation A pink triangle is a symbol for the LGBTQ+ community. Initially intended as a badge of shame, it was later reappropriated as a positive symbol of self-identity. It originated in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s as one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, distinguishing those imprisoned because they had been identified by authorities as gay men and/or crossdressers. In the 1970s, it was revived as a symbol of protest against homophobia, and has since been adopted by the larger LGBT community as a popular symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and the LGBTQ+ movements and queer liberation movements.
