 The Lutherans Concerned logo visually unites symbols of our Christian Faith and courage against sexual discrimination. The ichthus, or fish symbol, originated as a secret recognition sign, when Christians in the Roman Empire were persecuted for their faith. The Greek language acronym for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior," spells out ichthus, meaning "fish."
The triangle shape symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The pink triangle was also used by the Nazis to identify European homosexuals who were persecuted or put to death in the concentration camps of the Third Reich.
Both symbols are now used by respective communities today as signs of honor and support. We unite them to show that Christian life and human sexuality can be reconciled into one.
