The Pink Triangle on Twin Peakswill again be a pink canvas display as it was for its first quarter-century and can be seen during the day from nearly 20 miles away. New canvas and sailcloth border materials were ordered many months ago and have arrived to make that happen. The LED lighting was terrific the past three years thanks to the many donations in 2020 (and 2021/22) that enabled and Illuminate's CEO Ben Davis to graciously help during the pandemic year of 2020 when we weren't able to gather hundreds of volunteers due to social distancing. The equipment used for that LED system (3,000 LEDs) was used for an additional two years (a beautiful bonus for sure). For that we are forever grateful and thankful to Illuminate and for the many donations.

In 2021 the Pink Triangle will be illuminated atop Twin Peaks all of Pride Month, from dusk on June 1st to sunrise on July 1st.

The gigantic illuminated 26th annual Pink Triangle will again SHINE as a beacon of resilience, hope and remembrance over San Francisco in 2021 as a reminder of where hatred can lead.

The Pink Triangle, once a symbol of one of the darkest chapters in human history and now embraced as a beloved symbol of equality, inclusion, hope and perseverance has long been at the center of the city's annual San Francisco Pride celebration.

Even though the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 will prevent the traditional large group of community volunteers from installing a huge fabric Pink Triangle, there will be a pink outline visible on the hillside during the daytime and 2,700 LED nodes of pink light at night. It will again be lit byILLUMINATE andBen Davis, the masterminds behind the Bay Lights - the illumination of the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge.

In 2020, last year's nighttime display of the PINK TRIANGLE was illuminated during theGlobal Grand Lighting Ceremony on Saturday June 27, and continued through the night of Friday July 10 and then was taken down Saturday July 11.

Thank you to all the volunteers who signed up and helped with setting up and taking down the borders of the Pink Triangle display.

Thank you to the 500+ people who made an online donation!

It takes a community to come together and put this display on and we could not do this without your support. THANK YOU ALL!

Along the way, they made stops in Oakland and San Francisco travelling across the Oakland-SF Bay Bridge. After the Dykes on Bikes arrived in SF, the Pink Torch was handed over to volunteers who walked on foot starting from the Ferry Building and then kept walking westward along Market Street (which is closed to street traffic until Van Ness Street) to Castro Street. Then the Pink Torch was picked up again by Dykes on Bikes who carried it to Twin Peaks and handed it toSF Mayor London Breed, shown holding the Pink Torch standing between Patrick Carney and Sister Roma standing adjacent to the newly illuminated Pink Triangle as shown in the SF Chronicle photo second from the top of this home page.

SPECIAL THANKS in 2018 to theSan Francisco Police Department Park Station for providing traffic control but also providing regular patrols around the clock at the Twin Peaks area to keep an eye on the pink triangle tarp which has been vandalized in previous years.THANK YOU ALL!

The Pink Triangle is a visible yet mute reminder of man's inhumanity toward man. The lesson of the Pink Triangle is: "what can happen when hatred and bigotry are allowed to become law".

The test of any democracy is how well it treats its minorities. The Third Reich demonstrates how easily a government can devise minority scapegoats. During the Holocaust, the Nazi's devised a whole array of colored triangles to label and distinguish their "undesirables". Branding homosexuals as criminals let most Germans feel comfortable looking the other way, while the Nazis went about their persecution. This is a tactic now being used in numerous countries again.

The goal is to educate people about the hatred of the past to help prevent it from happening again. The display continues to have a special meaning one year after the tragic shootings atThe Pulse in Orlando, Florida. The display and ceremony are not only to remember the hatred of the past, but to also show we aren't out of the woods yet regarding hatred and violence directed toward the LGBTQ and Latino and other minority communities - as Orlando so vividly illustrates.

Discriminatory laws led to the creation of the Pink Triangle patch that homosexuals were forced to wear in Nazi concentration camps, and the Yellow Star of David badge that Jews were forced to wear under Nazi occupation, and a whole series of colored patches for each of their targeted groups of "undesirables". We try to prevent such hatred from happening again. Clickhere for further history information.

During the Pink Triangle Commemoration Ceremony at 10:30 am on Saturday June 24, 2017 various speakers will point out that the kind of hatred that existed in the 1930's and 40's still exists today - still exists today - as in Chechnya, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and so many other nations, and even a few places in the US including here in California. There is much to be done, and education is the key! That is why the Pink Triangle is still being installed after all of the decades - it is a giant learning tool.
