The Pink Triangle memorial in San Francisco was vandalized, prompting condemnation from officials. A 19-year-old man was arrested for defacing the memorial, described as a powerful symbol of the city's commitment to LGBTQ rights. State Senator Scott Wiener emphasized that such acts are attacks against the LGBTQ community during a time of heightened hostility. The memorial, celebrating its 30th anniversary, represents resilience, and local leaders vowed that such vandalism won't diminish the community's spirit. The founder, Patrick Carney, indicated that he may cover the defaced banners temporarily as the community stands united during Pride Month.
Today's vandalism of the Pink Triangle is yet another horrific attack on the LGBTQ community - at a time when our community is under intense assault on a daily basis.
The Pink Triangle is a symbol of our community's resilience in the face of hatred and violence. We're not going anywhere, and no amount of vandalism or violence will change that.
No one will take away our joy during pride month. We commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Pink Triangle, a powerful installation that celebrates the resilience of our LGBTQ+ community.
