A Folded German Special Poster (measures 16 1/2" x 23 1/2" [42 x 60 cm]) (Learn More) Schwul (literally translates to "Homosexual"), the 1991 German poster protesting Section 175 (known formally as 175 StGB), which was a provision of the German Criminal Code that made homosexual acts between males a crime. Note that this poster features a pink triangle, which has been a symbol for various LGBTQ identities, initially intended as a badge of shame, but later reclaimed as a positive symbol of self-identity. In Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, it began as one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, distinguishing those imprisoned because they had been identified by authorities as homosexual men, a category that also included bisexual men and transgender women. In the 1970s, it was revived as a symbol of protest against homophobia, and has since been adopted by the larger LGBTQ community as a popular symbol of LGBTQ pride and the LGBTQ rights movement.
