This undated button displays the phrase “Quaker QUEERie…What Sayest Thou?” in black lettering, enclosed within a pink triangle motif. 

The play on words draws from two key elements of Quaker tradition: a query—a  set of questions used for spiritual and moral reflection—and the phrase “what sayest thou?” (or “what canst thou say?”), attributed to George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, as a challenge to religious orthodoxy. 

The pink triangle is a symbol that was originally used in Nazi Germany to identify and stigmatize LGBTQ+ individuals but has since been reclaimed by many members of the LGBTQ+ community.
