Senator Wiener Condemns Pink Triangle Vandalism

SACRAMENTO – Today the Pink Triangle atop San Francisco’s Twin Peaks was vandalized. SFPD arrested a suspect in connection with the case. Senator Wiener issued the following statement in response:

“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. The Nazis tried to exterminate us, and we survived. Today, we face another severe threat — a President and his movement trying to erase us entirely and force us back into the closet. We’re not going anywhere, and no amount of vandalism or violence will change that. I’m so grateful for the many volunteers who make the Pink Triangle each year. Nothing will stop this community’s spirit, and I’m confident the Pink Triangle will be repaired and back in order quickly.”
