The imagery is from the WaPo (although that doesn't forgive it) and that is reflected in the article ... Ironically by a "Jeremy Hunt" (I won't be the one to Google what that's slang for)...
The first person I met who told me they were gay was in 95, they were wearing a pink triangle pin and I asked what it meant. I learned they took it back from the Nazis And used it as a source of pride. this message is two-fold- to use something that people declared joy in AND to remind them.
I was just having a discussion with a friend about if they remembered why and when “triangles were gay” came about, can anyone explain to me because I mean it’s just a shape.
gay men and trans women in Nazi camps were identified with an inverted pink triangle. the symbol was reappropriated by LGBT activists later in the 20th century with the point up, most famously by ACT UP in their SILENCE=DEATH campaign
Ty for answering, I genuinely did not know the history of it I just remember it somehow coming up in my youth in the 90s and genuinely not understanding it, and I really never looked further. Genuinely appreciate this answer.
