Description:Pink triangle and Persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust One of the oldest of these symbols is the inverted pink triangle that male homosexuals in Nazi concentration camps were required to wear on their clothing.

Victorian gay men would often pin a green carnation on their lapel as popularized by openly gay author Oscar Wilde , who often wore one on his lapel.
