Delete[edit]

This template ought be deleted - it's unnecessary, divisive, and has been used for vandalism and personal attacks. Propose deletion.Timothy Usher 10:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see no reason for deletion. If someone uses it for vandalism and/or personal attacks, then the way to go about things is to block the user and revert their vandalism/attack, not delete a template which is used by quite a few Wikipedia users and is a valid part of someone's identity which they may wish to express through use of a Userbox on their user page.

I don't see a reason either since it doesn't signify transgression of (international) laws. Myrtone@User gay.com.au

It isn't divisive, it's descriptive. It's who a big section of society are. We've had to hide for so many centruries it makes a refreshing change to be able to state who we are. Mallanox 09:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think this ought to be protected.. Given that it is a target for vandalism, and doesn't have much reason to be changed.. —Cliffb 21:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pink Triangle???[edit]

Ho my god I can't believe it! Why using this symbol to identify gays??? Don't you guys know your history? « The pink triangle was one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, used by the Nazis to identify male prisoners in concentration camps who were sent there because of their homosexuality »... I'm sorry but I can't accept this; I'll change this right away; sorry boys 'n girls! --Antaya 08:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I chose to use this specific user box because of the pink triangle. I want to have it on my user page in honor of the victims of nazism. Also, "The inverted pink triangle has become an international symbol of gay pride and the gay rights movement, and is second in popularity only to the rainbow flag."
