The National March on Washington For Lesbian and Gay Rights postcard. Front of the postcard reads: "Come out...Come out... wherever you are. | National March on Washington For Lesbian and Gay Rights | October 11, 1987 Washington, D.C." Back of the postcard reads: "A pink triangle was used by the Nazis to identify and persecute homosexuals in the same way a yellow star was used for the Jews. An estimated 250,000 gay people were exterminated before and during World War II by the Third Reich. Today, the triangle has become a symbol of pride and struggle for gays around the world whose freedom and safety remain in peril."

1987 October 11
