The Homomonument opened on 5 September 1987 as the first one in the world to commemorate lesbians and gays who were persecuted and killed by the Nazis. It was designed to "inspire and support lesbians and gays in their struggle against denial, oppression and discrimination."
The designer of the monument Karin Daan describes it as follows:
"I think the best part is that the monument integrates itself into the place like an embroidery, and from above it is clearly visible how the triangle is intertwined with the urban and social space, that, for example, when taxi drivers stand in the middle of the monument, they are hardly aware of it. I think that is the most beautiful component of the Homomonument: we are there, proud and strong as granite, the monument binds us together here and now, but we are just as intertwined with the city and society in a larger time and space."
