Two LGBT Symbols That Need ing

With all our colorful rainbows this month two symbols are sometimes forgotten.

Symbols first of hate, then of survival then of victory over horrific conditions that must never happen again.

The pink triangle was required to be worn by gay men at the Nazi concentration camps

The black triangle was required to be worn women who were "undesirable" by the Nazis including lesbian at the concentration camps

The Holocaust just did not involve the extermination of Jews, gypsies, the disabled, gays and lesbians, and anyone else who the Nazis considered undesirable were murdered.

That's why during this pride month along with my rainbows I wear a pink triangle. A trans woman would have been considered male by the Nazis.

It is a symbol of survival just as strong as I feel about the yellow Star Of David that Jewish people had to wear.

We cannot forget or ignore this part of our history, if we do, we are doomed to repeat it.
