The symbol the Nazi's used was an inverted pink triangle (ie with one
point down)... originally, it was used that way by those in the gay
movement to recognize and acknowledge the past... now, it can be worn any
way... some interpretatios have the point facing down meaning "Silence
Equals Death" and the point facing up meaning "Action Equals Life"..
which would go along with the inverting of the quasi-nazi ideas...
