This is a question primarily for the queer comrades but of course any of yall can comment.

Recently I saw some criticism of the symbol's use because so few of those who wear it ever had to actually experience it.

Personally I wear it on my jacket, and have worn it for several years. I don't think I'll remove it, but I was curious about other people's thoughts.

    They killed our elders, and they keep killing. I like the triangle less as a "queer pride" symbol and more as a "fuck you I won't forget what you did" symbol.

      That's basically how I see it too, like I'm not wearing it in the same way that I wear a flag pin.

      The triangle is there more as a remembrance or a "fuck you" sort of thing.
