After the Netherlands witnessed a homophobic attack recently, straight men all over the world and especially, in Netherlands including the politicians, the Dutch police, and commoners, have come out in support the LGBTQI community. And, to protest the attack, they are walking hand-in-hand on the streets challenging the diseased mindset of those who view homosexuals as criminals. Words wouldn’t do justice to this beautiful gesture, and we strongly believe ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, so here you go:
