As the world's first memorial to commemorate gays and lesbians who've suffered persecution, the Homomonument is a must for any first-time gay visitor to Amsterdam. Conceived in 1970 and finally completed in 1987, it features three pink granite triangles laid out to create a larger triangle, in remembrance of the outcast symbol forced upon gays by the Nazis. The monument's set in a pretty location right on the Keizersgracht canal, just next to the historic Westerkerk.

    The Netherlands can be the most inclusive country for homosexuality in the world. It can be said that it is the country of the rainbow, but it is more unremarkable to say that the gay monument is not recommended to come and see it. It is not far from the canal. It is fine to have a look.

    It is in Amsterdam's central Dutch capital to commemorate all homosexuals and lesbians who have been persecuted, and to see many locals and foreigners sitting by the water reading tablets, lighting candles and leaving flowers.

    After searching for a long time, I haven't seen it many times, because these three flat triangles are so inconspicuous. In fact, this is just like the survival of sexual minorities, they are in the crowd, many times you can not see their existence. But in Amsterdam, where the streets are full of rainbow flags, they may really be able to live in the sun.

    A place very close to the West Church, it is said that the monument is actually a marble on the ground, and there is no effect at night, but as one of the world's most tolerant countries, it is not bad to visit.

    This is a monument in the center of Amsterdam. It commemorates the persecuted male and lesbian. However, when I searched it, I realized that I could easily miss it. This is because there is no large sign describing the place. It only uses three large pink triangles made of granite.
