Like most of the gangsta culture, the backwards peace sign is derived from a phallic image. Notice the two elongated rods erecting from the gangstas hand. No one knows why the gangsta uses two rods, but many guess that it is because he is twice as horny as his honky counter part would be in the situation. As the gesture is used to display yearning to cap someone in the ass, this symbol could also could be seen as a invitation to engage in Anal Sex. Thus it has also become a popular symbol of gay pride.
