Pink Triangle Park

Tuesday morning I had the chance to visit the Pink Triangle Memorial in San Francisco. The Pink Triangle Park serves as a memorial for the gay, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian men and women who were killed in concentration camps during World War II by the Nazi's. The memorial consists of triangular pillars with a mini pink triangle at the top. Behind the pillars is a triangle on the floor filled with beautiful pink stones. The plaque that is placed next to the memorial shows a photo of some of the men who were sectioned into the homosexual group. The men had to wear a pink triangle as a symbol of their sexual orientation. Overall visiting the memorial was a great experience.
