Trump’s Anti-LGBTQ+ Post Featuring Nazi-Era Symbol Sparks Outrage
On his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump shared an article featuring a pink triangle, a symbol historically used by the Nazis to identify gay men in concentration camps. This post follows a series of anti-LGBTQ+ executive orders from Trump, including military bans on transgender individuals and restrictions on healthcare access for transgender youth. The article itself discusses a shift in military recruitment messaging under Trump, away from inclusivity. Trump’s use of the pink triangle, regardless of intent, has heightened anxieties within the LGBTQ+ community.
