Is AVEN's symbol offensive to gays and lesbians or was it just a coincidence?
AVEN’s symbol has always bothered me personally, but I’ve never really much thought of it as an appropriation. I just thought of the symbol as ugly. But there’s a lot that has gone on in this tag recently and this is one area where I concede people have a point. Rather than continuing this discussion any further here, I’m just going to point out that Asexual News has a commenting feature and that’s the place to take the debate.

In Nazi Germany, it designated anyone who was imprisoned in camps—gays, Jews, et al. It’s theirs to reclaim, not ours, and it’s so powerful in its use for them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camp_badges
