LGBT+ History Month: the pink triangle
Sun, February 19, 2023 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
The pink triangle has been one of most identifiable symbols for the gay liberation movement, with its origins in the concentration and forced labour camps of World War II. This talk, hosted by Reading Meeting, looks at the experiences of sexual and gender minorities before, during and after the Nazi regime. From the emerging freedoms of the 1930’s, to brutal punishment and use as ‘cannon fodder’ under fascism, what sort of liberation was there for the ‘pink triangle’ inmates?
