It was actually a pink triangle, that the Nazis made homosexuals wear, but same difference, when you get down to it.

Just for your information, even though the pink triangle was used to mark homosexuals by Hitler, the homesexuals have now embraced it as one of their "gay pride" symbols.

From a homosexual site:

"The pink triangle is easily one of the more popular and widely-recognized symbols for the gay community. …In the 1970s, gay liberation groups resurrected the pink triangle as a popular symbol for the gay rights movement. Not only is the symbol easily recognized, but it draws attention to oppression and persecution — then and now. In the 1980s, ACT-UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) began using the pink triangle for their cause. They inverted the symbol, making it point up, to signify an active fight back rather than a passive resignation to fate. Today, for many the pink triangle represents pride and solidarity. "
