This is a question primarily for the queer comrades but of course any of yall can comment.

Recently I saw some criticism of the symbol's use because so few of those who wear it ever had to actually experience it.

Personally I wear it on my jacket, and have worn it for several years. I don't think I'll remove it, but I was curious about other people's thoughts.

I dont associate it with pride. I associaate it with the struggle. It's origins are in the Nazi persecution of the queer community akin to the Yellow Star of David,
