Summary
| Description |
Every Pride weekend, Twin Peaks gets this cloth-covered pink triangle. It covers an area of a full acre, and is easily visible from up to 20 miles away! The pink triangle is a symbol of homophobic oppression; it was one of the many different-colored triangles that Nazi Germany had used on the concentration camp prisoner uniforms to indicate the "undesirable" category the prisoner fell into; pink was a general "sexual deviant" category that almost always meant a male homosexual. Other colors used include red for political prisoners and black for "antisocials" including the mentally ill. Continuing usage of the pink triangle today is a tribute to victims of homophobia in Nazi Germany and elsewhere, and a reminder to never forget the ravages of institutionalized homophobia. It is analogous to the use of the cross, a Roman execution tool, by Christians, alluding to the crucifixion of Jesus. Now that the Pride festivities are winding down, volunteers are starting work on removing the triangle from the hilltop. |
