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. "

Fox News reported earlier today that after Rudy announced, their e-mails were flooded with supporters saying "Way to go, Rudy".

Are you insinuating that the poster who posted the pink triangles was gay?

Yes, but Evie spoke of requiring they be worn. That's simply not defensible, even with a shabby sarcasm tag glued on.

Just for YOUR information, the gif was alter ad-on to what was originally said by the poster, who said that all of the nonRUDYTRAHERS should be made to wear the pink triangle, which implied the NAZI one.

But you knew that already.....didn't you.;^)
