In the late 1970s, the pink triangle was somewhat reclaimed by the gay community. Throughout the Holocaust, the Nazis forced those whom they labeled as gay to wear inverted pink triangle badges, just as they forced Jewish people to wear a yellow Star of David.
This triangle, however, had a loaded, anti-gay history.
Before the rainbow pride flag was created, there was another symbol for the LGBTQIA+ community: a pink triangle.
