Dutch men are uploading pictures of themselves holding hands on to social media to stand against homophobia. The trend was sparked by an alleged attack on two gay men on a street in the Netherlands on Sunday. The images are being shared via the hashtags #handinhand and #allemannenhandinhand (all men hand in hand). Politicians, celebrities, football pundits and workers have joined in, throughout the Netherlands and beyond.
Jasper Vernes-Sewratan, 35, and Ronnie Sewratan-Vernes, 31, say they were attacked by a group of men in the early hours of Sunday morning in Arnhem, in the country's east. Their story was widely publicised and they appeared on Dutch talk show Pauw earlier this week, where they described being set upon after holding hands.
The lawyer of one of the alleged attackers also appeared on the show, later in the week, claiming the pair threw the first punch. The couple have emphatically denied this.
Gay couples in Amsterdam and Eindhoven also reported being assaulted because of their sexuality over the weekend, according to Dutch media. In some parts of the world, including India and some African countries, men commonly hold hands, taking it as a sign of friendship and respect. The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage in 2011.

This is as close as the PC BBC gets in the entire article to remotely coming close to mentioning the giant elephant in the room -- the reason why, all of the sudden, gay men are being assaulted in The Netherlands. The reader is left with the impression that Third World migrants who have been swamping The Netherlands would be happy to see two men holding hands. So the reason for the assaults and homophobia remains a mystery that hopefully will be solved by this hand-holding campaign.
“Whats the next logical move?”
In a short while for the mindless leftists, this will become the new “ice bucket challenge”?
They probably look like the men that tried to beat down Lot’s door to get at the angels.
Bet you a dollar the attackers were Muslims.
Hmm, looks like they got it from “us”.

But then again?
Pix of Dutchmen holding hands. Yeah, that’s enough to persuade me surrender the view that homosexuality is not normal. The left is clownish
Homosexuality is a psychological dead end, and like a recessive lethal gene in the gene pool, it keeps popping up until it finally mutates into something else, or the culture that forms it is exterminated by a clash with another culture that strongly despises that character trait, in a crude form of societal cancer treatment.
The Universe is a cruel and unforgiving place.
Uh huh. The same country that has criminalized talking about Islam. Good luck with your new masters tolerating homosexuality.
Seattle. I generally take I-405 and bypass Seattle completely when I’m heading south.
A country of dhimmi fags being taken over by people who will kill them. How quaint.
Maybe we just might have to withdraw ALL our troops from Europe and allow them to live their lives in whatever perverted ways they choose.
Hell, if US provides your troop support, your own snowflakes can frolic gaily as much as they please.
Not to leave anyone on the outside, tighten up the immigration laws so to make it ‘easier’ for those that assert that the way things are going is not the way to live.
They should be holding their necks to protest m*slims chopping heads.
What do the Islamists think about this?
Dutch men hold hands with other men because they like it. Protest, my foot.
You may post images of rectal syphilis on threads like these as long as you post images of blue waffle disease on threads regarding,....well, homos probably get that too, so hmmm..
better post both just to be safe.
