About

The acre-sized illuminated Pink Triangle on Twin Peaks lit up June 1 with the Pink Torch Procession — featuring prominent members of the LGBTQIA+ community led by Dykes on Bikes and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — and kicked off by Mayor Schaaf in Oakland and received by Mayor Breed who symbolically lit the installation. The Pink Triangle’s founder Patrick Carney has partnered with arts nonprofit Illuminate, the organization behind last year’s lighting. “We honor Patrick Carney and his quarter-century of creating The Pink Triangle from canvas, working with hundreds of volunteers, a tradition put on pause due to COVID. We are grateful for the opportunity to augment his extraordinary commitment to the LGBTQIA+ movement,” says Illuminate CEO Ben Davis. “This year, we are thrilled to shine from June 1 to June 30.” Cover photo by Christopher Michel.
