Never Forget

Both the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) and its associated charity the Pink Triangle Trust (PTT) are among the co-sponsors of the Queer Remembrance Day ceremony on Sunday 14 November 1999. Delegations from GALHA and PTT will lay wreaths of pink flowers at the Cenotaph in London’s Whitehall. The ceremony, which will take place immediately after the official one, honours lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people who died fighting Nazism or who died in the concentration camps.

Commenting on the ceremony, the Chairperson of the PTT trustees, David Christmas, said: “The pink triangle in our charity’s name had to be worn by the thousands of gay people brutalised, experimented upon, and murdered by the Nazis in their concentration camps. This symbol of such horrific barbarity must never be forgotten.”
