The pink triangle was never used, at least for gays, before the Nazis, as far as I know. The pink triangle dates from Nazi-era stigmatization of homosexual prisoners by forcing them to wear the pink triangle much as Jews had to wear the yellow star. The rainbow is a symbol of gay pride, as opposed to gay liberation, which used the pink triangle on various colored fields.Īlthough it was first used in Nazi Germany to identify gay males in concentration camps, the pink triangle only received widespread use as a gay pop icon in the early 1980s.
