Members of Rainbow Alliance make the triangles to address key issues affecting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. The student group provides all the materials for the crafts, and though Rainbow Alliance designates special times during the year when students create the triangles, Rainbow Alliance President Sandra Telep said that students are encouraged to create the triangles anytime.
Telep said that each color triangle stands for a different topic in the GLBT community. Pink stands for gay men, white is coming out, green represents transsexuals, yellow denotes bisexuals, purple stands for lesbians, blue represents heterosexuals supporting gays and red symbolizes issues of hate crimes.
Telep said that not all of the triangles abide by the color-coded system, and that sometimes an artist will completely cover the cloth with paint to show opposition to labels.
On one wall of the gallery is a red triangle that reads,
