This is a question primarily for the queer comrades but of course any of yall can comment.

Recently I saw some criticism of the symbol’s use because so few of those who wear it ever had to actually experience it.

Personally I wear it on my jacket, and have worn it for several years. I don’t think I’ll remove it, but I was curious about other people’s thoughts.

    One criticism I’ve seen of the pink triangle (as well as the rainbow pride flag) is that they’re kind of symbols of western queer movements specifically, and their usage has sort of overtaken usage of other queer symbols from other cultures, even in those other cultures’ movements. I’m like half-remembering this shit, and I don’t know if this has any bearing relating to your use of it, or if it was even really a good point to begin with (I don’t identify as queer or anything LGBT, so my evaluation is hobbled by that).
