Description
Friends of the Pink Triangle is a group of volunteers who, on a tiny budget, construct a gigantic pink triangle on Twin Peaks that can be seen for 20 miles.

The Pink Triangle has been installed for each Pride Weekend since 1996, as a visible yet mute reminder of man's inhumanity to man. The goal is to educate others to what can happen when hatred and bigotry become law as in Nazi Germany. The Pink Triangle is one of history's reminders of intolerance and hate. We must never forget past atrocities or they will happen again. History repeats itself.
