Which of the two symbols do you identify more with? The happy colored, optimistic rainbow OR the more strong, fighting spirit pink triangle?
For me it would be the pink triangle. Not that I don't identify with the rainbow too, it's just that I still believe that the gay community, or queer community in general, is (or at least should be) not only about partying and celebrations of queer identity, but also about fighting for equal rights and changing the world one step at a time.
I prefer the pink triangle, it has sentimental meaning. It represents an era of my life. That pink triangle is a loaded symbol, and I think it's a shame that most younger LGBTQ people can't even begin to understand history that pink triangle represents.
(I liked your blog.)
I'm 27 yo and I understand the meaning and history of pink triangle.
I think younger people must learn about our movement history to understand how we get here.
Because things are better, but far from perfection.
