A pink triangle patch seemed to denote that the person was a homosexual male. I say that because homosexual females apparently wore a black patch that was to represent a person who was 'Asocial'.

Why did the Nazis made homosexuals wear a pink triangle?
There was a whole system of badges that were required to be worn by the prisoners in Nazi Germany prison camps. The badges were mostly inverted triangles (flat side up, pointy side down) of different colours. Jewish prisoners had to wear a non inverted yellow triangle with another inverted triangle superimposed, over the top to form a star. Red triangles signified political enemies; green professional criminals; blue forced labour or emigrants, purple bible students; black for asocials and brown for gypsies. The colour for sex offenders was pink. Most of these happened to be homosexual men. So a homosexual Jew would wear a star comprising a pink triangle over a yellow triangle.
