In Nazi Germany homosexuals were forced to wear a an upside down pink triangle on their clothes, just as the Jews were forced to wear a Star of David. Today the people of the gay community have adopted the pink triangle as a symbol of gay pride by inverting the old Nazi triangle and turning it right-side up. There's also the Greek Letter, Lamda, sometimes worn by lesbians. There's also the rainbow flag.
It shouldn't be in the geometry section but...The pink triangle is a symbol for the homosexuals that were oppressed, mainly starting in the Holocaust. It carried on through the ages though.A symbol of gay pride. Reclaimed from the right-side up pink triangles used in Nazi concentration camps to designate gay prisoners.It's a sign for sexual equalityIt was a Nazi Concentration Camp badge for anyone considered a sexual deviant, including homosexuals, zoophiles, pedophiles, and rapists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camp_badges
The pink triangle is a symbol that originated in Nazi Germany, where it was used to identify and persecute homosexual men in concentration camps. In the late 20th century, it was reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community as a symbol of pride and resistance against oppression. Today, it represents LGBTQ+ rights and awareness, particularly in the context of gay rights activism.
Hitler made gay men wear a pink triangle in Nazi Germany. So the pink triangle (pointing downwards) has long been a strong color and symbol for gays. In more recent years gays have adopted the rainbow flag and colors as a symbol of freedom. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet are the colors.

the Midge team,

they were made to wear a pink badge, much like the Jews had to wear a gold star. it wasn't just gays and Jews who were catagorised though, almost everyone was catagorised(except the Germans, nazi followers, and anyone who agreed with Hitler basically) but i can't remember the other catagories
The pink triangle symbolizes all gay people, men and women, and was created by the Nazis during the holocaust era. It is a variation of the Jewish star, with only one triangle instead of two.In modern times, the pink triangle symbol has been "reclaimed" and is seen as a positive symbol.
Hal Pink has written: 'The green triangle mystery'
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.
