Gay Rights symbol made of the The Rainbow flag, sometimes Pride flag or Gay Pride flag.

It is in no way to be viewed as a negative statement on the Gay Community, Anti-Semitic or sympathetic to the Nazi Regime, it is strictly an look at the imagery employed by the Gay Community, and its historical roots.

Black Triangle, lesbian symbol of pride. Triangle in a Femanine Attribute
Created by Fibonacci. The black triangle is a lesbian or feminist symbol of pride and solidarity. The symbol originates from Nazi concentration camps, where every prisoner had to wear one of the Nazi concentration camp badges on their jacket, the colour of which categorised them according "their kind". Individuals deemed "asocial" had to wear the black triangle. In the Nazis' meticulous records there is no word of the black triangle having been imposed on lesbians, or of lesbians as a group being confined to concentration camps. Whatever the reason, lesbians have over time claimed the black triangle as a symbol of defiance against repression and discrimination, and it is considered a counterpart to the Gay Pink Triangle.

The pink triangle, now turned upright as a gay pride and gay rights symbol, was originally used pointed downward on a Nazi concentration camp badge to denote homosexual men.

Pink Triangle in a Male Attribute
This is not the "gay" triangle used in Nazi concentration camps for homosexuals.

Nazi Concentration symbols denoting Prisoner status. Although the use of the "Yellow Star of David" to denote Jewish People is most well known, Romani People, Polish People, Slav people, Communists, Political Adversaries, Jehovas Witnesses and many different adversaries to the German Nazi Regime had their own Triangle Symbol, so they could be differentiated in the Prison system. Presumably it was also used to dissuade unity within the Prisoner population.

Maltese Cross References

Various World War 2 Cross badges. The Maltese/Crusader/Iron Cross is symbol that pre-dates Christianity, and has been used by many Religious and Political factions. Some say it also represents a Pyramid viewed from above.

Depiction of the Sumerian serpent god Ningizzida dating from before 2000 BCE. The god itself is the two (copulating) snakes entwined around an axial rod. It is accompanied by two gryphons. Alternate spellings are Ningiszida, Ningishzida and Nin Giz Zida.

Some say this is an Ancient representation of the twin strands of DNA or 7 Chakras, or Kundalini Energy.

DNA Helix

First Aid/Medical Badge common in the U.S. and Canada. The Staff of Moses and Snake also represent the Biblical storyof when Moses battled the Pharoah of Egypt's top Magician and turned his Staff into a Snake. Presumably, Medicine was equated with Magic in the past.

FasciReferances

Unknown U.S. Military Patch
Sword & Fasci. In the background there features a Fasci a bundle of small sticks, this symbol represents the concept - "out many we are one". It was a Roman Empire symbol and the Italian Fascist Party used it as their premiere logo. The word
Fascist derives from Fasci. The U.S. use of it presumably represents the unity of the many, it also features on either side of the House Speaker in the U.S. House Of Representatives.
