The pink triangle, now a gay pride and gay rights symbol, was originally used to denote homosexual men as a Nazi concentration camp badge.



Now on a T-shirt, IPinkTyou.

Great idea.

get up

stand up



stand up for your rights

I thought the pink triangle now represents child molesters who are proud. Anyways i cant see why anyone who want to wear a symbol created by nazis that used to mean a death sentence.

I actually like the idea. Props

that's very interesting, i always thought it was purple, but had no idea about the history and wondered where that came from

i just wanna say that i think this design is beautiful! i love the idea.

thanks for all comments

Did you copy/paste that from wikipedia? You really should've just submitted this with the black triangle as one submission, just with different colour options for boys and girls. It'll be interesting to compare scores though.

You're right, it's my first time, I will try to improve! ;)

@Cyanidee: The pink triangle is a very prominent symbol in the gay community. Few people who see this shirt would know of the Nazi relation (and the meaning has changed since, anyway) and I've never heard of that child molester relation. The triangle is used widely within and outside of the gay community, and many people recognize it.



That being said, I think the pink triangle is specific to lesbians now, isn't it? If you're aiming at the entire LGBT community I think a rainbow one would be better. Also, this shirt fits a pretty narrow market - I have some gay friends who would love this, but being straight myself I wouldn't consider buying or wearing it at all.

Waaaay too much to read. Even after the long winded explanation, the phrase doesn't make sense

i appreciate the rights and pride aspect of this shirt, however, threadless just isn't the venue for shirts like this.

love this

So good you should patent it- it can become an icon

weezer sings pink is for lesbians.

Thanks everybody!!

I learned something today...



I don't think a lot of people will understand it (at least not where I live in the midwest), but cool idea.

"pink triangles on her shirt,lets me know the truth"



awesome song.... not so good shirt im afraid

cute model, is he gay?

Great shirt!

cyanidee on Jan 08 '09 : Anyways i cant see why anyone who want to wear a symbol created by nazis that used to mean a death sentence.



who wouldnt? its easy to fear the symbol, but to embrace it as a part of your history, and to honor that history by adopting it for your cause...that is beautiful, harmonious. it says "that is what was...now lets create what will be."



props, man. im straight, but i would rock this. and id be glad to explain its meaning to anyone who asked.

Sadly, you would get your ass kicked if you wore this to many places in the US. I'll never give you up.

Thanks fishafoba!

I think you'll find child molesters are too busy drawing their drapes hoping that nobody is going to fire bomb their house to be worrying about T-shirt designs.



I think that cyanides comment was just a tired anti - gay slur that all gay men are interested in small boys.



As for the design itself, it's interesting enough but a bit too niche for Threadless. However I would have said the same about the Gay pride shirt and that sold well.

i like this idea...

Last day any comments? Thanks all

I think it's quite clever and adorable! But again, not a lesbian, so wouldn't buy it.

This was my first contribution has not been bad, I hope to continue learning here.



Thanks to all!!



I´ll Come back! ;)
