LGBTQ memorial LGBTQ monument Homomonument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomonument https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q51411 A monument in Amsterdam, Netherlands which commemorates all gay men and lesbians who have been subjected to persecution because of their homosexuality. Opened on September 5, 1987, it takes the form of three large pink triangles made of granite, set into the ground so as to form a larger triangle, on the bank of the Keizersgracht canal, near the historic Westerkerk church. The Homomonument was designed to "inspire and support lesbians and gays in their struggle against denial, oppression and discrimination." It was the first monument in the world to commemorate gay men and lesbians who were killed by the Nazis.
