Gay symbols? im getting a new tattoo soon
and am looking for designs.
i really want to get something that represents like gay/lesbian
but not the pink triangle or rainbow or something full on obvious
anyone know of any other symbols i could look at?
:) |
The nautical star. It's a symbol first used by lesbians in the 1950's, in a time where it was much harder to be gay, to identify themselves. They would place a small one on their left wrist where it could easily be covered by a watch if needed. Of course now, you can put it anywhere you please.
It's definitely not obvious. To see an image search under google images. There are a lot of pictures of differnent styles and colors there. Hope this helps and you find what you are looking for. |
What are some subtle gay symbols or quotes? I want to print or stencil something on a t-shirt. I just don't know what yet. I'd like it to be something to do with homosexuality (positive) but something subtle like "IMRU?" So no rainbows or pink triangles
Quotes or pictures or anything it doesn't really matter.
thankyou for any help. |
You could put a Human Rights Association logo on it. (yellow equals sign on a blue backdrop)
Although I'm not sure if that's totally kosher legal-wise. |
Do most highschool students recognize rainbows as gay symbols? what would highschool guys think if they see a girl wearing a handmade rainbow bracelet. the girl pretty much looks like a boy. |
| I would assume that she is a lesbian. Most people in high school know that anything with a rainbow on it represents gay pride. |
Besides the rainbow flag and the Venus/Mars symbols, What else is consider as a gay pride symbol? I'm doing a project for school. I'm designing a gift wrap paper that is going to represent Gay Pride. I just want to what what are some other symbols I can us beside the basic? What else show gay pride (nothing graphic)? Thank for any help. |
| Pink triangle, and the yellow equals on the blue background (Human Rights Campaign). |
What are some good gay pride symbols that don't look ugly? Pictures would be appreciated, thanks. |
Ugly? There's nothing ugly about being gay!
The rainbow flag is very nice! |

Were some of the gay and lesbian symbols taken from Nazi death camps? Hi. I was watching a National Geographic Auschwitz (sorry if this is mispelled) special. And in it,they mentioned that homosexual prisoners were given pink triangle tags to wear. Is this where they originated? Are there other symbols that we still use today taken from these camps? Thanks. X Sarah |
pink triangle for gay men but was also used for other things.
and the black one for lesbians but it also stood for other things. since being a lesbian wasnt really something the nazis were worried about. just lesbians jews.
tehe found sources to further explain it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_triang…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_trian…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concen…
so yes its where it originated. |
What are the Different Symbols, Icons in the Gay/Lesbian Community? I've seen the gay pride colors, the yellow equal sign on blue background, the blue stipe on black background (don't know meaning), and is there the pink triangle (gays during the holocaust?).
what others? |
Before it was even legal to be gay, many gay bars were identified with a blue light outside. The light meant nothing to straights, but gays knew it was a place where they could come and be 'out' in a safe environment.
The black and blue colors you mention, sometimes shown with a red heart, represent the gay leather/ BDSM community.
Brown and tan stripes, sometimes in combination with a bear's paw, represent the gay bear community.
Another largely forgotten symbol is the hankie code- different colored hankies were worn in your back pocket to represent interest in various sex acts/ fetishes, and whether you were a giver or reciever. You can google to find a list of what the different colors meant. |
