Created in 1999 by the Interweave Committee. Pink triangle with chalice. This symbol has a significant history. During WWII, the pink triangle was used by Hitler’s troops to identify homosexual men in concentration camps. Historians estimate that between 50,000 and 100,000 gay men were killed during the Nazi regime in Germany. In the 1970s gay liberation groups resurrected the pink triangle as a popular symbol for the gay rights movement. In this church, people who wear the pink triangle are demonstrating their commitment to promoting an affirming and welcoming atmosphere for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people.
