girlfriendluvr:

its telling that lgbt goyim (particularly white lgbt goyim) always wanna “reclaim” the pink triangle (a holocaust symbol marking gay jews), while most lgbt jews (especially older ones) never want to “reclaim” it. maaaaaybe it’s bc non-rromani goyim have no actual generational trauma tied to the holocaust so they feel no pain attached to the pink triangle.

in fact, a lot of older lgbt jews who are holocaust survivors (even if they didn’t bear the pink triangle themselves) are triggered by the pink triangle, and plastering it everywhere actively makes lgbt events inaccessible for them, and there are multiple accounts of this actually happening, but WHATEVER

like it’s possible to do important gay rights activism like fighting aids and aids stigma without throwing lgbt jews under the bus. LIKE JUST MAAAAYBE reclaiming a literal NAZI SYMBOL that was used against gay jews and gay rromani as something for ~gay pride~ for the whole community that goyim use willy nilly was a bad idea. but whatever. and no the fact that its been used by clueless lgbt goyim for decades doesn’t make it fine.

but anyway im just gonna get a bunch of people commenting “omg goyische gays were killed in the holocaust too u know” bc no one on this site has any critical thinking skills

like just. maybe don’t use a nazi symbol that’s full name is “the pink triangle badge of the third reich” as your gay pride symbol. this symbol might not carry pain for you, but it does for so many jewish and rromani people.

there’s even a specific variation of the rainbow flag with a black stripe at the bottom called the “victory over aids flag” that was created in the 1980s during the aids crisis, it is a much more appropriate symbol to use for world aids day activism.
